| Title | Determination of THC-COOH in Urine |
| Summary | An automated, online SPE-LC-MS-MS method for the analysis of 11-nor-delta-9-carboxy-THC in human urine specimens was developed. The method was linear (R2 = 0.9986) to 1000 ng/mL, with no carryover evidenced at 2000 ng/mL. Limits of quantification and detection were found to be 2 ng/mL. Within-batch precision of a 15 ng/mL control (n=5) ranged from 0.58% coefficient of variation (% CV) to 7.4 % CV over nine analytical batches. Between-batch precision was 5.5 % CV over the same batch interval (n=45). Interference was tested using (±)-11-hydroxy-delta-9-THC, cannabidiol, (-)-delta-8-THC, and cannabinol. One hundred and nineteen specimens previously found to contain 11-nor-delta-9-carboxy-THC by GC-MS were compared to the SPE-LC-MS-MS method. Excellent agreement was found (R2 = 0.9982) for the parallel comparison study. The automated SPE procedure eliminates the human factors of specimen handling, extraction, and derivatization, thereby reducing labor costs and rework resulting from batch handling issues. Additionally, method runtime is greatly reduced (e.g., during parallel studies the SPE-LC-MS-MS instrument was often finished with analysis by the time the technician finished the offline SPE and derivatization procedure for GC-MS). |
