Methamphetamines - Method 9111

Proposed NIOSH 9111 for Methamphetamine on Wipes by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-SIM is a sampling and analytical method that will be included in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, 5th edition. Two other proposed methamphetamine wipe methods will also be included. NIOSH 9106 is a Liquid-Liquid Extraction Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) method and NIOSH 9109 is a Solid Phase Extraction Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) method. NIOSH 9111 is a quicker and less expensive analysis than either NIOSH 9106 or NIOSH 9109, but has been evaluated to measure only methamphetamines and not other illicit drugs that may be of interest.
