The determination of 11-nor-delta9-THC-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) in hair specimens at the sensitivity required to detect marijuana users is a difficult analytical problem. A sensitive and specific method has been developed for the quantitative assay of THC-COOH in hair. Hair specimens were ...
The determination of 11-nor-delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THCCOOH), the major urinary metabolite of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in meconium is extremely difficult because of the high concentration of lipids in the specimen and the low concentration of drug present. A simpl...
An automated extraction scheme for the analysis of 11 -nor-delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid using the Hamilton Microlab 2200, which was modified for gravity-flow solid-phase extraction, has been evaluated. The Hamilton was fitted with a six-head probe, a modular valve positioner, and...
