• There is an ever increasing need for rapid and more specific drug screens to combat current and emerging drug abuse trends.
• In the past, synthetic cathinones and cannabinoids were heavily prevalent in the United States. The trend has since drastically shifted towards opioid abuse.
• Drug abuse trends are constantly shifting, creating difficulties and challenges for their detection.
• Here a DART-MS drug library has been created using a software program developed in-house. The data was acquired using a mobile single quadrupole mass spectrometry platform. This database can be used for the general unknown screening of a wide range of drug compounds.
