title: High-performance liquid chromatography of bile pigments: application to the determination of unconjugated bilirubin in serum.
abstract: A rapid, sensitive and specific method for the determination of unconjugated bilirubin in serum is described. Reversed-phase chromatography on short-chain alkylsilica (C2) or octadecylsilica (C18) with acetonitrile--dimethylsulphoxide--water as eluent is used for the separation of bilirubin. The method is applied to the analysis of bilirubin in patients with disorders associated with jaundice.
