Transportable time-of-flight mass spectrometry of illicit drugs using dielectric barrier discharge ionization and acetone-assisted vacuum ultraviolet photoionization

This data publication contains the raw, extracted, and derived (e.g., peak areas) mass spectrometry data for illicit drug and mixture samples. These samples were analyzed by wipe-based collection or solvent-extraction, thermal desorption, and a transportable high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Data were collected with both an in-line dielectric barrier discharge ionization source and an acetone-dopoant assisted vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization source. Samples include a range of single-component drugs (e.g., Alprazolam, Cocaine, Fentanyl, Methamphetamine, Heroin), a 15-component drug mixture, and samples collected from used drug paraphernalia at harm reduction sites.
