title: A simple thin-layer chromatographic method for the analysis of buprenorphine in urine.
abstract: A simple and sensitive (at the ng/mL level) method for buprenorphine assay in urine is described. Buprenorphine is extracted by a C18 cartridge, derivatized with dansyl chloride, resolved by a uni-dimensional, two developing mobile phase high-performance thin layer chromatography system and quantified by fluorescence densitometry at 340 nm.
