Abstract
A method for analyzing and quantifying a panel of drugs in a clinical sample comprises: trapping a first portion of drug parent compounds and their metabolites on a first chromatographic column; trapping a second portion of the drug parent compounds and their metabolites on a second chromatographic column; separately eluting the first and second portions of the drug parent compounds and their metabolites from the first and second chromatographic columns; detecting concentrations of each of the drug parent compounds and metabolites eluted from each of the first and second chromatographic columns with a detector; and summing the detected concentration of each drug parent compound together with the detected concentrations of all of its respective analytes so as to derive a respective total concentration of each drug in the sample.
