D. Wielbo et al., HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF MORPHINE ANDITS METABOLITES IN PLASMA USING DIODE-ARRAY DETECTION, Journal of chromatography. Biomedical applications, 615(1), 1993, pp. 164-168
An isocratic high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been d
eveloped for the determination of morphine, codeine, normorphine, morp
hine 3-glucuronide and morphine 6-glucuronide in plasma using a diol c
olumn and diode-array detection. Samples were extracted using solid-ph
ase extraction with recoveries in excess of 90%. The limit of determin
ation was 1 ng/ml for morphine, codeine and morphine 3-glucuronide, an
d 10 ng/ml for normorphine and morphine 6-glucuronide. Inter- and intr
a-day precision were better than 10%.
