Abstract

In this paper, a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchip with electrochemical (EC) detection was developed for rapid separation and detection of morphine and codeine. It was found that morphine and codeine were well separated within 140 s in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) (pH 6.6, 40 mM)–β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (20 mM)–acetonitrile (30%, v/v). The detection limit was 0.2 μM for morphine and 1 μM for codeine. The protocol was successfully applied to monitoring the amount of morphine and codeine in human urine. Compared with the conventional methods, the presented method had many advantages such as lower instrument cost, less reagent consumption and shorter analysis time.
