With the prevalent misuse of amphetamine and its derivatives, drug testing is routinely performed in clinical and forensic laboratories. Effective testing requires high efficiency and reproducibility for analysis of complex, real samples. Hossein Ali Mashayekhi and colleagues from Islamic Azad University, Iran, have created a novel strategy to detect amphetamine and its related compounds in human urine by using ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction and gas chromatography.
