We present a rapid, sensitive, and automated HPLC method with direct resolution of l-folinic acid (l-FA), d-folinic acid (d-FA), and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) from plasma samples. Plasma (500 microL) is first extracted on solid phase (RP-18 cartridge). The dI-FA peak is collected on-line from a reversed-phase column (RP-8, 119 x 2 mm, 4 microns: HPLC 1) and then automatically loaded onto...
