Abstract
A gas chromatographic (GC) method for quantitation of flecainide acetate in human plasma is described and compared with a fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) for therapeutic drug monitoring. The GC method includes a solid-phase extraction procedure and electron capture detection (ECD) without the need of derivatization. Within-day and between-day coefficients of variation were <7% for GC and FPIA. Recovery was between 89–101% for the GC method. Plasma from 36 patients were analysed by both GC and FPIA and the results showed a good correlation (slope = 0.96; intercept = 0.009 μg ml −1; r = 0.987).
