A comparison of Extraction Techniques in Bioanalysis and Forensic Toxicology Analyses

18 Dec 2018

In this application note, a comparison was performed between Oasis PRiME HLB SPE, SLE and LLE in both plasma and urine matrices for bioanalysis and forensic toxicology. In plasma, 22 comonly analyzed pharmaceuticals, steroids, and drugs of abuse were extracted using the three aforementioned methods and the results were compared. In urine, 23 drugs of abuse representing opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and synthetic cannabinoid metabolites were tested for forensic toxicology analysis.
