Comparison of GLC-EMIT analysis for the assay of methadone and its major metabolite in urine. 1978

S D Ferrara, and L Tedeschi, and F Castagna, and M Marigo

The enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) was compared with the gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method in the analysis of 130 urine samples from subjects receiving methadone treatment and non-methadone controls. The GC method allowed the quantitation of 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine, and major metabolite of methadone. A good correlation was found between the two methods. The advantages of using the EMIT system are discussed.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
