Microdetermination of caffeine in blood by gas chromatography--mass spectrometry.
A micromethod for the quantitative analysis of caffeine present in small quantities (100 microliter) of whole blood is described. It is based on the gas chromatographic--mass spectrometric analysis of chloroform extracts of biological samples. The method is relatively simple, rapid, specific and sensitive; as little as 20 ng of caffeine can be measured.
