Abstract

Recently radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods have been developed for the determination of nanogram levels of methamphetamine in urine [1–3]. These methods are suitable for rapid screening but require expensive instrumentation. This communication describes a rapid and simple hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test that might be adaptable to the mass screening of urine samples without special equipment.
