Detection of Nitazenes in the Illicit Drug Supply Utilizing Precursor Ion Scan Methods With Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Nitazenes are increasingly present in the illicit drug supply, complicating harm reduction efforts. We have developed a rapid, nontargeted precursor ion scan method to detect emerging nitazenes in real‐world opioid samples. The method identified multiple nitazenes, often replacing pharmaceutical opioids or mixed with fentanyl and benzodiazepines ...
