Popis: A bioanalytical method for the determination of the anticancer drug Melphalan (AlkeranTM) in human serum and plasma is described. Automated solid phase extraction of the analyte is carried out with C18 sorbent packed in a 96 well format microtitre plate using a robotic sample processor. The extracts are analysed by isocratic reversed phase liquid chromatography using pneumatically and thermally assisted electrospray ionisation (TurbolonSprayTM) with selected reaction monitoring. The method is specific and sensitive, with a range of 2–400 ng mL−1 in human serum and plasma for Melphalan (sample volume 200 μl). The method is accurate and precise with intra-assay and inter-assay precision (%CV) of
