Abstract
Disclosed are methods of rapidly and accurately detecting a compound-of interest, such as a toxic drug, in a body fluid. A liquid sample containing various native constituents and an anticipated exogenous chemical compound is obtained from the body. The sample is then subjected to analysis by ion mobility spectrometry to determine the presence of the exogenous chemical compound or related metabolite therein. The method may further include the step of separating the compound-of-interest from said native constituents in said fluid sample prior to analysis.
