Automated 96-well solid phase extraction for the determination of doramectin in cattle plasma

Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis

Abstract

Automated standard and sample preparation have been coupled with 96-well solid phase extraction (SPE) technology to produce a cost effective, high throughput system for the analysis of drugs in biological media. The system was originally designed using the Packard Multiprobe 104DT robotic sample processor (RSP) to improve throughput for the assay of doramectin in cattle plasma, and the assay has since been validated (0.5-100 ng ml[-1]) using the Tecan Genesis RSP 150/8. The robotic processor conducts all liquid handling procedures involved in sample extraction. These comprise preparation of calibration standards in plasma, dispensing and diluting of plasma samples and addition of internal standard. In addition, the robot primes the 96-well SPE block, applies calibration standards and samples, draws the mixtures through the 96-well SPE block, and finally washes the block ready for manual elution. The doramectin assay involves high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection, and requires the sample extracts to be derivatised prior to analysis. The derivatisation procedure is performed manually in situ in the polypropylene deep 96-well block into which the samples have been eluted from the SPE-block. The ...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
