IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1994-02-01
Granted: 2003-07-07
Abstract: A method for the direct analysis of analyte indicative of marijuana exposure found in keratinized structures, e.g., hair, fingernails and toenails, which comprises preparing a mixture containing dithiothreitol or dithioerythritol, a protease suitable for the digestion of the keratin structure and a sample of the keratin structure; permitting the enzyme to at least substantially digest the sample of keratin structure to form a digest solution, followed by mixing the digest solution with a suspension of an ion exchange resin to remove an interfering, cross reacting substance naturally found in hair and finally subjecting the digest solution to analysis to determine the identity and amount of marijuana analyte in the keratin structure sample. To accelerate the method, cupric sulfate may be added to the mixture after degradation of the keratin sample in order to deactivate the activator. The enzyme may be a protease with papain, chymopapain, and proteinase K being preferred for use in the invention. Exemplary ion exchange resins useful in the method according to the invention are DEAE Sephadex (Diethylaminoethyl Sephadex) and DEAE Sepharose (Diethylaminoethyl Sepharose).

Title: A method and system for identification of a species in an excitation field
Inventor: KRYLOV EVGENY
IPC: G01N30/64
Filed: 2002-06-28
Granted: 2006-06-22
Abstract: The carrier gas carries the sample after ionization by ionization source (16) into the ion filter region (18). A dispersion voltage V DISP  is applied across the filter electrodes (20,22) as an RF voltage driven between high and low field strength conditions, which causes the ions to move transverse to the flow. A compensation voltage, V COMP , causes a particular ion species to be returned toward the center of the flow path, thus being able to exit the filter without colliding with the filter electrodes. Since other species will collide with the filter electrodes, ions are discriminated from each other according to mobility. According to the invention even two ions, which are compensated by the same V DISP /V COMP - combination, can be discriminated if they have different polarities 17-, 17+, since electrodes (28,30) detect simultaneously both positive and negative ions.
