Analysis of Citalopram and XtrackT SPE

A paper was recently published in Journal of Forensic Sciences (e-published January 2013)by Dr. Shane Darke et al (National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, University of New South Wales, Australia) where UCT Xtrackt solid phase extraction columns were employed to extract drugs from post mortem blood samples in cases where Citalopram was involved. The analysis not only involved Citalopram but a wide range of drugs including Opiates, Amphetamines, Cocaine, Benzodiazepines as well as other prescription drugs (antidepressants/antipsychotics). The large particle size of the Xtrackt offers analysts better flow performance with very viscous samples such as post mortem blood, and with a mixed mode chemistry, the analysts can be assured of high quality results in a reproducible manner. UCT is recognized as providing the finest solid phase extraction materials for over 25 years.
