In this article assays are described for caffeine, theophylline, procainamide, N-acetylprocainamide, quinidine, dihydroquinidine, paracetamol, phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, chloramphenicol, oxazepam, temazepam, diazepam, desmethyldiazepam, chlordiazepoxide, desmethylchlordiazepoxide and demoxepam using a uniform working procedure, five (slightly) different mobile phases and one HPLC system. Changing from one eluent to another is simple and a stable base-line is achieved within half an hour. Three of the five eluents are interchangeable and recycling of eluent causes no problems. Sample pretreatment is a single step extraction. Interferences can be overcome by changing the selectivity of the eluent by adjusting the tetrahydrofuran or triethylamine content. Furthermore it is shown how triethylamine can improve peak shapes of basic components and shorten their retention times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
