Identification and Quantification of Cannabinoids in Urine by Gallium Chelate Formation

  • Conference paper
Marihuana

Abstract

In recent years, many papers have appeared on the identification and quantification of cannabinoids in body fluids. Most of them use 14C-labeled compounds, radioimmunoassay, gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods, or, more recently, a mass fragmentography method [3,7,11,12,13,17].
