The determination of antipyrine elimination in saliva by liquid chromatography

Serum antipyrine concentrations determined by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

We developed an assay for antipyrine in serum using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography. A capillary electrophoresis system with a 70-cm fused-silica capillary and pH 8.2 borate-sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer was used. Standard curves ranging from 0.5 microgram/ml to 25 micrograms/ml were analyzed. The resulting electropherograms showed no interfering endogenous peaks and the assay was linear in the range of concentrations analyzed. The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations ranged from 0.7 to 5.2% and 1.7 to 8.1%, respectively. Analytical recovery of antipyrine ranged from 78.2 to 105.0%. The theoretical plate number for antipyrine was calculated to be 561,000 +/- 79,000 plates/m.
