Description
Analysis Note
Barbiturates are commonly abused and among the most widely tested compounds in clinical, forensic, or therapeutic drug monitoring applications. Shown here is the baseline separation of a set of barbiturates on an Ascentis C18 column. Highest grade HPLC solvents were used to supply low background interference and low particulate contamination for robust, trouble-free operation. Cerilliant and Sigma-Aldrich reference standards provided reliable identification and quantification.
