Abstract
A method and a system for evaluating a drug concentration in body fluid samples, wherein the body fluid samples are blood, plasma or serum, the method including the steps of: preparing at least one body fluid sample including a solved target drug by removing unsolved components from the body fluid sample; performing absorption spectrophotometric analyzes on the at least one body fluid sample; and evaluating a drug concentration in the at least one body fluid sample based on the spectrophotometric analyzes.
Claims21
A method for evaluating a drug concentration in body fluid samples, wherein said body fluid samples are blood, plasma or serum, said method comprising the steps of:
- preparing (S1) at least one body fluid sample comprising a solved target drug by removing unsolved components from the body fluid sample;
- performing (S3) absorption spectrophotometric analyzes on the at least one body fluid sample;
- evaluating (S5) a drug concentration in the at least one body fluid sample based on the spectrophotometric analyzes.
A system (1) for evaluating a drug concentration in body fluid samples, wherein said body fluid samples are blood, plasma or serum, said system comprising:
- a preparation unit (3), in which at least one body fluid sample comprising a solved target drug is prepared by removing unsolved components from the body fluid sample;
- an absorption spectrophotometer (11) provided for receiving prepared body fluid samples from the preparation unit (3) for performing absorption spectrophotometric analyzes on the at least one body fluid sample;
- an evaluation module (17) connected to the spectrophotometer (11) for receiving analyzes results therefrom and configured for evaluating a drug concentration in the at least one body fluid sample based on the spectrophotometric analyzes.
