The rapid identification of mixed drug research on the portable ion trap mass spectrometer

[ Instrument Network Instrument Development ] Recently, Li Haiyang and Hou Keyong, researchers of the Rapid Analysis and Detection Research Group of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, cooperated with the Key Laboratory of Drug Analysis and Anti-Drug Technology of the Ministry of Public Security of Yunnan Police Academy to develop a rapid simultaneous inspection. An ion trap mass spectrometer that produces a mixture of volatile and difficult-to-volatile drugs. The sensitivity of the instrument for detection of difficult-to-volatile drugs such as fentanyl is 50 pg. The relevant research results are published in full text in Analytical Chemistry (Anal.Chem). , 2019) Magazine.
Combating drug abuse has long been a global focus. In recent years, in order to enhance the "pleasure" of drugs, and to reduce the cost of drugs, drug makers often mix a variety of drugs and mix them into new drugs. These drugs are mixed with each other to promote the drug's mixed drug harm. Very sexual. In 2017, more than 5,000 deaths were caused by overdose in North America, most of which was due to the incorporation of cheap fentanyl in heroin. In 2017, China’s Yunnan Province, which was close to the Golden Triangle, seized 89.2 tons of drugs. The severe anti-drug situation puts higher demands on the rapid identification technology of drugs. However, the traditional detection instruments include spectrum, color-mass spectrometry, immune response, etc. Suitable for fast and accurate inspection requirements on site.
Researchers have been working on the development of portable ion trap mass spectrometers based on vacuum UV lamps and acetone-assisted photochemical ionization-thermal analysis (Anal. Chem, 2019). Due to the large difference in boiling points of various drugs, the sensitivity of difficult-to-volatile drugs in mixed drug testing is low, and the peak time of volatile drugs is short, which makes it difficult to test the total composition of mixed drugs. In order to solve this problem, the research designed a new type of optical flash thermal analysis system. In 3s, the drug near the focus of the analytical pool can be heated to 290 °C, which realizes the rapid vaporization of difficult volatile drugs. Compared with the past, the instrument has improved the detection sensitivity of the less volatile drug narcotine by more than 60 times. In addition, a pulse purge device is added to the design to simultaneously blow the volatile and volatile samples volatilized from the thermal analysis cell into the mass spectrometer within 20ms, reducing sample loss due to continuous gas flow. The utilization rate has increased by more than 5 times. The 10 drug mixtures with boiling points up to 300 °C can be simultaneously detected by photoflash thermal analysis combined with pulse-purging, and the analysis time is only 3 s.
In the demonstration application stage, the ion trap mass spectrometer has repeatedly penetrated the first line of anti-drug in Yunnan, and continuously improved the details of the instrument according to the results of the field test. It has successively been in the Qinglongchang checkpoint of Yuxi City, the frontier inspection station of Dehong Prefecture, and the Tengchong City. In the field, Baoshan City, Mojiang City and other places have been applied in the field, and the suspected opium, cannabis, fentanyl capsules and other mixed drugs seized on the spot were successfully identified. The ion trap mass spectrometer drug detection identified 37 drugs.
The research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Dalian Chemical Institute's self-deployment fund.
