A simple HPLC method for the determination of caffeine and theophylline in plasma is described. Separation of theobromine, paraxanthine, theophylline, β-hydroxyethyltheophylline and caffeine is obtained using a mobile phase of 1% acetic acid/methanol (83:17, v/v) and a Waters Associates NOVA-PAK C18 column protected by a Guard-PAK precolumn module containing a Guard-PAK CN cartridge. Rapid sample preparation is achieved by solid-phase extraction columns (Bond-Elut C18, 1 mL capacity) which provide excellent recovery values for both drugs. The cost per sample using this approach can be minimised by column regeneration and re-use. Results obtained for theophylline are in good agreement with values determined by other techniques.
