Determination of Amphetamine in Urine and Blood

Abstract
The determination of amphetamine in body fluids is of interest in veterinary toxicology because of the possible use of amphetamine in the doping of race horses. Many types of methods for its detection and determination have been developed. In the newest methods gas chromatography and mass spectrometry have been applied, making it possible to detect and identify 1 µg amphetamine in blood samples (Bonnichsen et al. 1970).
