1,4-Benzodiazepine compounds from Urine Samples were analyzed successfully after Solid Phase Extraction (SPE).
--- Four available compounds (shown below) were well retained and separated. The procedure could be used for determination of this class of compounds in urine samples and other body fluids.

Peaks:
1. Temazepam 301.0739 m/z [M+H]+
2. Diazepam 285.0790 [M+H]+
3. Nordiazepam 271.0633 [M+H]+
4. Midazolam 326.0855 [M+H]+

Injection vol.: 1µL
Flow rate: 0.4 ml / minute
Detection: ESI – POS – Perkin Elmer AxION 2 TOF Mass Spectrometer
Samples:
---- Extraction method: Spiked urine sample was loaded into SPE cartridge I (Clean Screen Xcel™ purchased from UCT Bristol, PA, USA) and eluted with 0.78mL of acetonitrile, 200µL of 2-propanol, 20µL of ammonia.
---- After the elution, the sample was dried under N2 gas and dissolved in 100µL of 50:50 methanol / DI H2O / 0.1% formic acid.

NOTE: Before injection, the 10 ppm spiked sample was filtered through a 0 .45µm AQ™ Brand Nylon Syringe Filter (MicroSolv Tech Corp).
