Streszczenie
Para-methylthioamphetamine (MTA) is a relatively new sulphur containing phenylalkylamine designer drug which was found in so-called S-5 tablets sold in Dutch smart shops. In this study, we evaluated the detection of MTA in urine specimens using commercial amphethamine-like immunoassays. For confirmation, MTA was analysed by GC/MS using different derivatisation methods.
