Abstract

The present paper describes a highly selective method for simultaneous determination of amphetamines in urine samples by stir bar sorptive extraction method using carbon-coated magnetic nanoparticles as novel coating for stir bar. Under optimized extraction conditions, a good linearity was observed in the concentration range of 20–2000 ng/mL for amphetamine, 20–2500 ng/mL for methamphetamine, and 30–1500 ng/mL for pseudoephedrine. The positive urine samples were examined by the developed proposed method with satisfactory recovery. Results showed that the developed stir bar sorptive extraction method could be applied in different forensic and clinical laboratories.
