title: Analysis of various classes of drugs by capillary supercritical fluid chromatography.
abstract: Three classes of drugs were screened for analysis feasibility by capillary column supercritical fluid chromatography. These included steroids, therapeutic antibiotic drugs, and drugs of abuse, such as cannabinoids. Supercritical fluid carbon dioxide was used as the mobile phase in conjunction with a methylpolysiloxane stationary phase capillary column and a flame ionization detector. All compounds considered were analyzed either as single component solutions, simple mixtures, or in actual complex mixtures.
