This disclosure relates to a method and reagents for determining amphetamine and d-methamphetamine in a biological fluid, such as urine. In particular, this disclosure relates to improvements in a fluorescence polarization immunoassay procedure for determining the presence of amphetamine and d-methamphetamine in a single assay and to a novel class of tracer compounds employed as reagents in such procedures. The procedure described includes pretreatment of the biological sample to eliminate cross-reactants such as beta -hydroxyphenethylamine by preincubating the sample solely with an aqueous periodate solution having a pH from about 4.0 to about 7.5 without adjustment to an alkaline pH, and contacting the sample with riboflavin binding protein to reduce interference from fluorescent components in the sample. The procedure also maintains the cross reactivity of the immunoassay for tyramine at about 0.4% and for l-methamphetamine below about 5.1% and eliminates the necessity of using controlled substances as starting materials. |
