Chromatography-free triple quadrupole and time-of-flight mass spectrometry data for system characterization and exploring illicit drug identification

This data publication contains the extracted mass spectra and derived data (e.g., extracted ion chronogram peak areas) for illicit drug and mixture samples. These samples were analyzed direct analysis in real time (DART) ionization with a benchtop triple quadrupole (TQ) mass spectrometer. Related measurements and data were also gathered on a laboratory time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. Samples include a range of single-component drugs (e.g., Fentanyl, Xylazine, Cocaine, Heroin, etc.), a 15-component drug mixture, and samples collected from used drug paraphernalia at harm reduction sites.
