A non-extraction HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of serum paracetamol and salicylate.
A direct injection HPLC method for the sumultaneous measurement of serum paracetamol and salicylate is described using a Pinkerton internal surface reversed-phase column with benzoic acid as internal standard. The method is linear to at least 1000 mg/L for both drugs and shows good precision at levels of 62-500 mg/L. None of the drugs tested for interference affected the quantitation of either drug. In patient samples, the values obtained with this method correlated well with those from enzymatic paracetamol and Trinder salicylate methods.
