Extraction of Benzoylecgonine (Cocaine Metabolite) and Opiates (Codeine and Morphine) from Urine Samples Using the Zymark RapidTrace™
Francis X. Diamond, William E. Vickery, and John de Kanel

The Zymark RapidTrace™ automated solid-phase extraction system has been evaluated for use in the urine drug-testing laboratory. Methods for cocaine metabolite (benzoylecgonine) and opiates (codeine and morphine) are described and evaluated. The linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, and carryover statistics of these analytical protocols are presented. The advantages of extraction using the RapidTrace instead of solid-phase extraction with the manual vacuum manifold or liquid–liquid extraction methods are described.
