title: Capillary gas chromatographic method for the determination of n-butyl-p-aminobenzoate and lidocaine in plasma samples.
abstract: A fast capillary gas chromatographic method with nitrogen-selective detection is described that allows selective and reproducible quantification of n-butyl-p-aminobenzoate (BAB) and lidocaine in plasma. The sampling and sample storage conditions are critical for the quantification of BAB. Diisopropyl fluorophosphate, an organo-phosphorus pesticide, has to be added during sampling to prevent the rapid decomposition of BAB by cholinesterases.
