An improved method for the quantitation of phencyclidine (PCP) in biological samples utilizing nitrogen-detection gas chromatography.
A simplified method for the quantitation of phencyclidine using nitrogen-detection gas chromatography is described. The samples are extracted twice with n-butyl chloride containing benzphetamine as an internal standard. A 0.5 mL sample is required for detection of as little as 5 ng/mL PCP. The assay is easy, fast and reliable. Due to the relatively small volume required, this method is suitable for analysis of pediatric samples.
