La. Romanyshyn et al., DETERMINATION OF VALPROATE IN THE PRESENCE OF FELBAMATE IN HUMAN PLASMA BY NARROW-BORE CAPILLARY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Epilepsia, 35(2), 1994, pp. 406-410
A narrow bore capillary gas chromatographic method with one extraction
step has been developed for quantitation of valproate (VPA) in the pr
esence of felbamate (FBM) in human plasma. The method uses 0.250-ml al
iquots of human plasma and one internal standard (IS). Chromatographic
conditions include a DBWAX, 0.25 mm ID x 15 m, 0.25-mu m film thickne
ss column; splitless injection; and flame ionization detection. The li
near quantitation range for VPA is 1.00-256 mu g/ml.
