Direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry with collision‐induced dissociation for structural analysis of synthetic cannabinoids

Abstract

Illicit synthetic cannabinoid products continue to be readily available despite national and international restrictions. These products contain a wide range of active components, and, in many cases, multiple active ingredients. DART-MS allows rapid analyses of these synthetic cannabinoids based on the exact masses of their [M+H](+) ions and product ion peaks generated using CID.
