An automated system is described for the simultaneous extraction and derivatization of nucleophilic compounds from various biological media. The method includes the use of a solid-phase reagent containing a 9-fluorenylacetate activated ester. The reagent is based on a controlled pore, polystyrene divinylbenzene support prepared through a silica template procedure. An X-Y-Z robotic arm equipped with a needle is used in conjunction with a syringe pump for aspirating and dispensing samples and standards into the HPLC system. A precolumn cartridge containing the solid-phase reagent is put on-line in place of the fixed-volume injection loop. Injections of biological fluids such as urine or plasma with minimal sample treatment and handling are made directly into this reactor. The analytes are dervatized as they are extracted, allowing virtually unlimited sample volumes to be injected. The polymeric cartridge can be used for up to 100 injections without accruing unacceptable reductions in sensitivity. A detection limit of 500 p.p.t. (parts per trillion) of amphetamine in urine was achieved with this system.
