    This document discusses analytical chemistry techniques used to characterize one pot methamphetamine laboratories. Methamphetamine was prepared using the one pot method, which is a simpler and faster way of producing meth using household chemicals in a 2-liter plastic bottle. The solid waste, liquid waste, and product salts were then analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Liquid-liquid extraction was performed to prepare the post-salt solvent samples for GC-MS analysis, while the post-salt solvent was diluted for LC-MS analysis. These techniques were able to characterize the byproducts and identify the compounds present from the one pot methamphetamine production

    SEMESTER 2
    Characterization of One Pot methamphetamine
    laboratories using GC-MS and LC-MS/MS

    Methamphetamine (contracted
    from N-methylamphetamine) is a
    potent central nervous
    system(CNS) stimulant that is
    mainly used as a recreational drug
    and less commonly as a second-
    line treatment for attention deficit
    hyperactivity disorder and obesity
    INGREDIENTS USED TO “COOK” METH
    IN ONE POT:
    A simpler, less expensive and faster
    Alcohol Hydrochloric/muriatic acid
    method of making meth is increasing in
    Anhydrous ammonia-
    fertilizer
    Hydrogen peroxide popularity. The smaller batch known as
    Antifreeze Iodine crystals the one pot, shake and bake, or 2L bottle
    Battery acid Lead acetate method uses a 2-liter plastic bottle. Cold
    Benzene Lighter fluid medicine and noxious chemicals are added
    Charcoal lighter fluid Lithium from batteries to the bottle and shaken. No flame is
    Diet aids/ephedrine Lye-sodium hydroxide needed.
    Di-ethyl ether – camp stove Nail polish remover – This 2-liter method produces powerful
    fuel acetone explosions, intense fires and releases toxic
    Energy boosters
    OTC cold waste. Even small mistakes in the process,
    medicine/pseudoephedrine
    such as removing the cap too soon or
    Ethyl ether – starter fluid Paint thinner
    allowing water into the mix, can cause an
    Red phosphorus –
    Freon
    matches/flares explosion.
    Gasoline Sulfuric acid – drain cleaner
    Techniques used for its
    characterization:
     Methamphetamine was prepared by one pot method.
     The solid waste (sludge), the liquid waste (post-salt solvent), and the product salts
    were collected and analyzed for reaction byproducts.
     Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was performed on the post-salt solvents to prepare
    the samples for GC-MS analysis.
     For LC-MS analysis, the post-salt solvent was diluted in deionized water.
