“…Several chromatographic techniques have been reported for the determination of sildenafil in plasma samples, such as highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Guermouche and Bensalah, 2006;Sheu et al, 2003;Lee and Min, 2001;Al-Ghazawi et al, 2007;Cooper et al, 1997;Jeong et al, 2001;Bartošová et al, 2011;Pistos et al, 2008), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) (Berzas Nevado et al, 2002a), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) (Berzas Nevado et al, 2002b), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) (Tracqui and Ludes, 2003;Weinmann et al, 2001) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) (Eerkes et al, 2002;Kim et al, 2003;Wang et al, 2005;Rust et al, 2012;Yokoyama et al, 2014). MEKC, LC/MS and LC/MS/MS, although highly sensitive, are expensive and not readily available in most laboratories.…”
