摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method of detecting an analyte in a hemolyzed whole blood sample the method comprising the steps of applying a sample of hemolyzed whole blood known or suspected to contain an analyte of interest to a column comprising a restricted access chromatography material (RAM) thereby binding the analyte, eluting the analyte from the RAM and detecting the analyte, wherein at least in the first step a buffer with a pH above 8.0 is used. Preferably the hemolyzed whole blood sample is obtained by differential hemolysis. The novel method ensures that hemoglobin does not interfere with the detection of the analyte of interest, especially in any subsequent analyses. The method can be easily used in the online detection of many analytes, e.g. from a hemolyzed whole blood sample, like in the detection of an antibiotic, of folate or of immunosuppressive drugs, like tacrolimus or sirolimus.
