The potential of solid-phase microextraction in the bioanalysis of drugs is demonstrated. The free concentration of valproic acid in human plasma was determined by equilibrium dialysis at room temperature. To the dialysate was added an internal standard and the pH was adjusted to 2.5. The polymethylsiloxane-coated fused-silica fibre of the solid-phase microextraction device was inserted into the dialysate for 3 min. The sorbed analytes were then thermally desorbed at 210 degrees C in the split-splitless injection port of the gas chromatograph, separated on a Nukol capillary column and detected with a flame ionization detector. The method was shown to be highly reproducible with a detection limit of 1 microgram/ml of free valproic acid in human plasma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008832 Microchemistry The development and use of techniques and equipment to study or perform chemical reactions, with small quantities of materials, frequently less than a milligram or a milliliter.
D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D003956 Dialysis A process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not.

D014635 Valproic Acid A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
