Rendering the "poppy-seed defense" defenseless: identification of 6- monoacetylmorphine in urine by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy
SJ Mule and GA Casella
New York State DSAS Testing and Research Laboratory, Brooklyn 11217.
We report a sensitive, rapid, quantitative gas chromatographic/mass spectroscopic method for measuring the 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM) metabolite of heroin in 0.5 mL of human urine. After a simple liquid- liquid extraction and derivatization, the trimethylsilyl derivative of 6-MAM is identified from its retention time (total ion current) and by selected ion monitoring. The limit of detection was 10 micrograms/L, corresponding to 0.2 ng of trimethylsilyl-6-MAM injected into the gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. The presence of 6-MAM in urine is indicative of heroin. 6-MAM is not present in poppy seeds or in urine after the ingestion of products containing poppy seed.

Yes,but it's in an extremely small amount.
This is why they say never to eat a poppy seed bagel before a drug test.
