Abstract
A column-switch high performance liquid chromatography method for the analy sis of 4 mL, of plasma is described with six examples of chromatography of [C-11] labeled positron emission tomography imaging agents. Complete extrac tion of all but the most polar metabolites by the reverse phase capture col umn is achieved by disruption of plasma protein binding by 8 M urea. NUCL M ED BIOL 27,;6:627-630, 2000.
