The screening and quantitation of diazepam, flurazepam, chloridazepoxide, and their metabolites in blood and plasma by electron-capture gas chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography.
A combined GLC-ECD and HPLC procedure has been developed for the analysis of the most commonly encountered benzodiazepine drugs and has been applied to both plasma and postmortem blood samples. There is no doubt that since their introduction the use of these sensitive analytical methods have resulted in an increase in the incidence of detection of these drugs in both clinical and forensic toxicology cases.
