Gas chromatographic analysis of illicit heroin samples. 1980

G Machata, and W Vycudilik

Morphine and 6-acetylmorphine in illicit heroin samples can be easily determined by propionylation in aqueous solution (disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer). Heroin, 3-propionylmorphine and 6-acetyl-3-propionylmorphine are separated on methyl-phenylpolysiloxane liquid phases (5% phenyl content). The analytical procedure and the corresponding statistical data are presented together with the retention indices of typical street heroin concomitant drugs. The procedure can also be applied to the analysis of opium preparations and very dilute heroin (morphine) samples.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
