[Isolation of drugs from blood with macroreticular resins (author's transl)].

The use of Amberlite XAD resins for isolation of drugs from blood without preliminary precipitation of proteins is described. Compared with the usual methods of precipitation this method gives better yields and cleaner extracts in a shorter time. In combination with specific methods of detection, e.g. with GC and Nitrogen detector, the use of XAD promises to be efficient in the screening for drugs in the forensic and clinical field.
