Optimal enzymatic hydrolysis of urinary benzodiazepine conjugates.

abstract：:We present an analytical method for the determination of heroin, free 6-acetylmorphine (6-AM), and free morphine in blood, urine, and vitreous humor. This method is used in postmortem cases where heroin is the suspected cause of death. The analytical protocol includes the following steps: liquid-liquid extraction at p...
