Determination of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in Confiscated Tablets by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Diode Array Detector

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Chromatographic analysis by the HPLC technique with Diode ArrayDetector was employed for MDMA determination.A mobile phase of methanol/water (90:10v/v) allowed a peak signal for MDMA in 16 minutes.Optimized spectrophotometric signal was obtained at a wavelength of 240 nm.The analytical curve from 5.0 to 100.0ppm of MDMA was obtained, showing a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9997 and a detection limit of 2.94ppm.This methodology was employed at the dosage of confiscated samples of ecstasy in the Scientific Police Laboratory of Ribeirão Preto-SP city.
