Author: Xueguo Chen and Dan Zhao Publishing Date: 2017 E-ISSN: 1011-601X Volume 30 Issue 3 ABSTRACT: A robust gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method was utilized in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of designer drugs in human blood. Designer drugs, including methcathinone, 3, 4- methylenedioxymethcathinone, 4’-methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone and methylenedioxy-pyrovalerone were simultaneously analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Liquid-liquid small volume extraction was employed in the
