Pharmacokinetic studies play a vital role during the development of new pha
rmaceutical substances. Data presented demonstrate an accurate, precise and
robust assay for a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist and its metabolite wit
h HPLC-MS-MS. Sample preparation is performed by solid-phase extraction (SP
E) in the 96-well plate format. This process is fully automated with a Teca
n Genesis(TM) pipetting system using its standard robotic manipulator arm (
ROMA). All instruments are fully integrated in a study oriented laboratory
information system (LIMS) with an Oracle database that communicates bi-dire
ctional with the analytical equipment. Finally, the results are reported by
push button operation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
