Semi-automated solid-phase extraction procedure for drug screening in biological fluids using the ASPEC system in combination with Clean Screen DAU columns.
The use of a semi-automated solid-phase extraction system (ASPEC) for the screening of drugs in plasma and urine on a single mixed-mode column (Clean Screen DAU) is described. The processes of column preconditioning, sample application, column wash, pH adjustment and elution of the drugs were accomplished by the ASPEC. After off-line evaporation, the residues were injected into a wide-bore capillary gas chromatograph. The recoveries of the tested drugs were in the range of 73-96%, with relative standard deviations less than 5% at a concentration level of 2 micrograms/ml.
