title: Toxicological screening for benzodiazepines in urine: EMITST versus high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection.
abstract: An HPLC-diode array technique has been developed as a reference method for immunochemical screening for benzodiazepines in urine of hospital patients. The results of EMITST compared to this method revealed concordant results in 80% of the cases; in other respects the two methods are complementary.
