Abstract Spoilage can be evaluated by separating and determining biogenic amines by various techniques, notably high-performance liquid chromatography. Previous studies have not taken into account how the muscle tissue matrix affects the assay. We demonstrate a matrix effect in plaice and whiting and show that it changes during spoilage. This effect should be taken into account when plotting regression lines relating the quantity of amine to the biogenic amine/internal standard ratio.

ABSTRACTA rapid and simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of three triazole antifungals (voriconazole, posaconazole, and itraconazole and the metabolite of itraconazole, hydroxyitraconazole) in human plasma. Sample preparation involved a simple one-step protein precipitation with 1.0 M perchloric acid and methanol. After centrifugation, the supernatant was injected directly into the HPLC system. Voriconazole, posaconazole, itraconazole, its metabolite hydroxyitraconazole, and the internal standard naproxen were resolved on a C6-phenyl column using gradient elution of 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 3.5, and acetonitrile and detected with UV detection at 262 nm. Standard curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.05 to 10 mg/liter (r2> 0.99). Bias was <8.0% from 0.05 to 10 mg/liter, intra- and interday coefficients of variation (imprecision) were <10%, and the limit of quantification was 0.05 mg/liter.

Abstract We describe a procedure for measuring concentrations of cocaine in plasma by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, with ion-pairing. The procedure involves solvent extraction followed by back-extraction with dilute acid. The n-propyl ester of benzoylecgonine is used as an internal standard. An evaporation step is not required, and concentrations as low as 5 micrograms/L can be quantified. Plasma concentrations of cocaine determined by high-performance liquid chromatography correlated well with those determined by a previously reported gas-chromatographic procedure with nitrogen detection.

Abstract We describe an improved procedure for the preparation of plasma or serum for determination of theophylline by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Quantitative results are available in less than 30 min from receipt of sample. The chromatogram is complete in 8 to 16 min, which includes the use of an internal standard. Sample preparation consists of simple solvent denaturation of the sample proteins, and centrifugation to remove protein before chromatography. No precolumn is required to pretect the separating column. No interference was noted when sodium or lithium heparin or ethylenediaminetetraacetate were used as anticoagulants, but citrate treatment proved to be unsatisfactory because of a highly absorbing band that eluted with the same retention volume as theophylline.
