Rapid analysis of fentanyls and other novel psychoactive substances in substance use disorder patient urine using paper spray mass spectrometry

Abstract

Paper spray mass spectrometry can reliably identify and quantitate fentanyl analogs and other drugs of abuse in urine. Using paper spray cartridges as collection devices reduces exposure and transportation risks associated with biological fluids. Cartridges preloaded with labeled internal standards can be effective for targeted screening of fentanyl analogs and other drugs of abuse.
