Abstract
The invention provides a method of assaying for tetrahydrocannabinol in a body fluid. The method includes contacting a sample of body fluid with an imine capable of reacting with tetrahydrocannabinol to yield a quinone imine, and detecting the formation of a quinone imine, where the sample is contacted with the reagent compound at a pH of at least 10.5.
Claims10
A method of assaying for tetrahydrocannabinol in a body fluid, said method comprising the steps of contacting a sample of body fluid with an imine capable of reacting with tetrahydrocannabinol to yield a quinone imine, and detecting the formation of a quinone imine, wherein said sample is contacted with said imine at a pH of at least 10.5.
A method of assaying for a phenol analyte in a body fluid sample, said method comprising contacting said sample with a 4-imino-pyrazolone and electrochemically detecting any resulting quinone imine.
