All reference standards were obtained as certified solutions in
methanol from Cerilliant (Round Rock, TX, USA) at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. The studied illicit drugs and some of their studied metabolites were COT, MOR, MC, COD, AM, MA, MDA, BZE, NK, 6-MAM, MDMA, KET, and COC. Deuterated compounds COT-D3, MOR-D3, MC-D3, COD-D6, AM-D5, MA-D5, MDA-D5, BZE-D3,
NK-D4, 6-MAM-D3,
MDMA-D5,
KET-D4, and COC-D3 used as isotope-labeled internal standards (IS) were also purchased from Cerilliant as 100 μg/mL solutions in
methanol.
Mixed stock solutions were prepared with
methanol at concentrations of 500 and 2500 ng/mL. Working standard solutions were prepared by appropriately diluting mixed stock solutions in
methanol to different concentrations. All stock and working solutions were stored in the dark at −20 °C.
HPLC-grade
methanol (MeOH), acetonitrile (ACN), and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) were purchased from Tedia (Fairfield, OH, USA). Formic acid (HCOOH) was obtained from Nanjing Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (Nanjing, China).
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate (NaH
2PO
4⋅2H
2O) were acquired from Xilong Scientific Co., Ltd. (Shantou, China). Deionized water was prepared using a Milli-Q water purification system (Nanjing Miaozhiyi Electronic Technology, Nanjing, China).
