Abstract

Barbiturates are commonly abused tranquilizer and a rapid method to determine these drugs in biological samples is needed. In this study, was screened barbiturates in urine specimens by the fluorescence polarization immunoassay method(FPIA) and the positive samples were confirmed and identified by the more definitive GC/MS method. Fifteen positive smples which have barbiturate values higher than 0.5 ng/ml were analyzed by the GC/MS method. Eight samples were identified as phenobarbital and five samples were identified as crotilbarbitone.
