Abstract
Daughter-ion spectra obtained by ion-trap mass spectrometry have been successfully employed in the field of drug abuse investigation. Selection and collison-induced fragmentation of molecular-ion species of morphine and cocaine lead to an easy identification of such molecules in hair extracts of heroin and cocaine addicts.Keywords
