Alkaloids are a broad class of nitrogen-containing compounds that include many drugs with significant clinical impact — morphine, codeine, cocaine, nicotine, and related substances. LC-MS/MS testing identifies and quantifies specific alkaloids with high accuracy.
This test is used in clinical toxicology, addiction medicine, pain management monitoring, and forensic settings. It provides definitive identification of specific substances beyond what immunoassay screening can detect. Sample type is typically urine.
