Abstract: | A rapid, selective, and sensitive method is described for the purification and analysis of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine using a solid-phase extraction column and gas chromatography-electron-capture detection. Linear quantitative response curves for fluoxetine and norfluoxetine are generated over a concentration range of 20-200 ng/ml. Overall extraction efficiency of the extraction procedure is found to be greater than 90% and greater than 75% with correlation coefficients of 0.997 and 0.993 for fluoxetine and norfluoxetine, respectively. |
