Abstract

The extraction and subsequent liquid chromatographic analysis of human plasma samples for cortisol is described. Extraction and chromatography are optimized, resulting in a recovery for cortisol of 96% and a detection limit of 1 microgram cortisol in 100 ml plasma. The application of two chemically modified silicas has been evaluated. The specificity of the method was tested by field desorption - mass spectrometry experiments.
