VALIDATION OF A METHOD TO DETECT COCAINE AND BENZOYLECGONINE IN HUMAN WHOLE BLOOD BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY AND APPLICATION IN BODY PACKERS AND STUFFERS CASES IN THE NORTH OF CHILE
The present paper describes a method for the simultaneous determination of cocaine and benzoylecgonine in human whole blood. The drugs were extracted with phosphate buffer at pH 6, followed by solid-phase extraction and quantification by GC/MS with electron impact ionization using helium as carrier...
