Electron impact ionized purine bases such as caffeine and its metabolites (theophylline, theobromine, paraxanthine, 1-methylxanthine, 3-methylxanthine and 7-methylxanthine) were characterized by tandem mass spectrometry. The direct analysis of human urinary extracts by tandem mass spectrometry allows the unambiguous identification of caffeine and its metabolites present simultaneously in the urine.

Abstract

The direct analysis of human urinary extracts by tandem mass spectrometry allows the unambiguous identification of caffeine and its metabolites present simultaneously in the urine.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
