HPLC with simultaneous UV and reductive electrochemical detection at the hanging mercury drop electrode: a highly sensitive and selective tool for the determination of benzodiazepines in forensic samples
Wilhelm,M.; Battista,H.J.; Obendorf,D.;
A versatile, sensitive, and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure for the determination of common benzodiazepines and some of their most frequently occurring metabolites in forensic samples was developed and optimized with respect to effective and rapid sample preparation and high selectivity of the analytical assay. The optimized method includes liquid-liquid extraction of the drugs with chloroform followed by isocratic reversed- phase chromatography on a LiChrospher-100 RP-8ec column (150 x 4.
