Methylone

Empathogenic and stimulant effects similar to ecstasy characterize methylone (3,4-methylenedioxymethcathinone, bk-MDMA), a Schedule I synthetic cathinone and beta-keto analog of MDMA. Laboratory testing applications include forensic toxicology investigations for driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) cases, postmortem toxicology, emergency department clinical toxicology assessments, drug-facilitated crime investigations, and public health surveillance of novel psychoactive substances. UTAK’s Bath Salts synthetic cathinone panel contains methylone in frozen urine matrix to support mass spectrometry confirmation methods required for novel psychoactive substance detection. Stock and custom QC solutions can incorporate related synthetic cathinones such as MDPV, mephedrone, alpha-PVP, butylone, ethylone, and other emerging compounds to address your laboratory’s comprehensive novel psychoactive substance testing requirements.
