A micromethod for the emergency estimation of plasma paracetamol concentration using high performance liquid chromatography.

A method has been developed for the emergency estimation of paracetamol using high performance liquid chromatography. The sample required is 100 microliters of plasma; the use of a micro-centrifuge reduces the total time for the estimation to 5 min from the receipt of the blood specimen. The method has been compared with a standard UV method.
