Abstract
A latex agglutination inhibition reaction test for a screening method of methamphetamine in urine has been reported by Aoki et al. An evaluation of this method was attempted by using gas chromatography and chemical ionization mass fragmentography. Some false negative and false positive cases were found. It seems that this method needs some modification for false negative cases and also it needs a confirmation test.
