Abstract
, heroin, phencyclidine, and cocaine) in artificially laced samples is also demonstrated on-disc. The cost effective microdevice is capable of complete automation post-extraction, with a total analysis time (including extraction) of <8 min. Finally, sample consumption is minimized, thereby preventing the complete destruction of forensic evidence.
