Objective To establish a sensitive,accurate and rapid detection method for 10 drugs and metabolites in hair with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry,addressing the identification of drugs in real hair samples.Methods After cryogenic grinding and ultrasonic extraction,hair was separated by Restek Allure PFPP column(100 mm × 2.1 mm,5 μm).The mobile phase A was 20 mmol/L ammonium acetate,0.1%formic acid and 5%acetonitrile aqueous solution.The mobile phase B was acetonitrile.An electrospray ionization source was used for data acquisition in scheduled MRM mode.Results The method showed good linearity for all analytes within the validated range(R2>0.995),with the limits of detection ranging from 0.5 to 6 pg/mg,the limits of quantification ranging from 2.5 to 10 pg/mg.Accuracy ranged from 89.1%to 114.6%,with intra-day precision ranging from 0.2%to 11.7%,inter-day precision ranging from 4.0%to 15.8%.the matrix effects ranging from 89.4%to 118.4%,the recoveries ranging from 63.6%~112.1%.Totally 20 cases were detected positive in 196 actual hair samples.Conclusion The time-scheduled scanning method exhibits high stability and sensitivity,enabling high-throughput detection,and is suitable for forensic toxicology laboratories to identify drugs in hair.
