Biocompatible solid-phase microextraction coatings based on polyacrylonitrile and solid-phase extraction phases.
The applications of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) are continuously expanding, and one of the most interesting current aspects consists of applying SPME for fast analysis of biological fluids. The goal of this study is to develop biocompatible SPME coatings that can be utilized for in vivo and in vitro extractions, in direct contact with a biological matrix such as blood or tissue. The biocompatibility of the proposed new coatings is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their performance is tested by developing an SPME/HPLC method for analysis of verapamil, loperamide, diazepam, nordiazepam, and warfarin in buffer solutions and in human plasma. The coatings prove to be biocompatible by not adsorbing proteins and are successfully applied for fast drug analysis and assay of drug plasma protein binding.
