Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To determine the propofol’s content in whole blood online and in situ by combined capillary micro-extraction rapid extraction with optical-fiber. METHODS Capillary micro-extractor, optical-fiber sensing devices and microSIA lab-on-valve were used to determine the propofol in whole blood. RESULTS The new methods of recovery ranged in 95.8%-103.6%. The intra-day RSDs were 7.2%, 8.2% and 2.6%, and inter-day RSDs were 10.0%, 6.1% and 7.7%, respectively at 3 concentrations(100, 150, 200 μg·mL
-1). The?average?extraction?rate was higher than tradition liquid-liquid extraction about 3.5%, and the extraction time was still shorter about 5-7 min. CONCLUSION This new method could test propofol in whole blood online and in situ without using centrifuge and removing protein, and provide an excellent opition to determine?the?propofol?in?whole?blood.
