is a useful method. Although there have been some reports9~11) on the HPLC analysis of PGs and TX using 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM), these methods have less sensitivity than HPLC for the quantitative determination of PGs and TX in human plasma. The purpose of this investigation was to establish an HPLC method for the determination of PGs and TX in biological samples. For the analysis of PGs an...

Solid-state extraction of plasma or serum offers significant advantages over traditional liquid-liquid methods in cortisol determinations by liquid chromatography (HPLC). Sample preparation is facilitated and HPLC column contamination is minimized. Extract yield from the solid-state columns is enhanced by sample pretreatment with methanol. Cortisol values by solid-state extraction/HPLC correlat...
