Abstract

A column-switch high performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of 4 mL of plasma is described with six examples of chromatography of [11C]-labeled positron-emission tomography imaging agents. Complete extraction of all but the most polar metabolites by the reverse phase capture column is achieved by disruption of plasma protein binding by 8 M urea. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.
