title: Radiochemical GLC assay for nortriptyline in human plasma.
abstract: A novel method was developed for the assay of nortriptyline in plasma. After nortriptyline was extracted, it was acetylated with 3H-acetic anhydride; the quantity of 3H-acetylnortriptyline in the extract was determined by radiochemical GLC. The method is capable of assaying 5 ng of nortriptyline/ml of plasma. The instrumentation was assembled from commercially available components.
