Analysis of Metamfetamine Coumpounds in the Shabu-Shabuhair using Sonication and Gcms Methods

Abstract

Hair can be used as an option in analyzing the levels of methamphetamine in the hair of shabu-shabu users. The research aimed to find out the optimum solvent was used in the extraction of sonication method in qualitative analysis of methamphetamine in the hair of shabu-shabu users, and to determine the levels of methamphetamine in the hair of shabu-shabu users from sonication-based analytes using GCMS. Hair samples of drug users of methamphetamine were collected from the Rehabilitation Center of Datuk Etam - Tj. Morawa. The hair collected is the user’s hair after 0-14 days, 30 days, 150 days, 210 days after narcotics use. The results showed that methamphetamine could be detected in hair specimens with a marquis test which gave a brownish yellow discoloration. The optimum solvent was used in the extraction of sonication method in the qualitative analysis of methamphetamine in hair using methamphetamine: acetone: ammonia.Levels of methamphetamine in the hair of shabu-shabu users from sonication-based analytes by means of injecting 1μL into GCMS in the hair sample of user 1 on day 0-14 = 1.10; day 60 = 1.03; day 150 = 0.93; Day 210 = 0.71. 2nd user on day 0-14 = 1.04; day 60 = 1.00; day 150 = 0.88; Day 210 = 0.71. 3rd user on day 0-14 = 1.09; day 60 = 1.01; day 150 = 0.81; day 210 = 0.73. 4th user on day 0-14 = 1.00; day 60 = 0.92; day 150 = 0.86; day 210 = 0.69. 5th user on day 0-14 = 1.02; day 60 = 0.89; day 150 = 0.77; day 210 = 0.64.
