“…For the routine analysis of BZDs and antidepressants various techniques have been used, such as: spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry [14,15], potentiometry [16], indirect kinetic catalytic method by stopped flow technique [17], nonaqueous CE [18], modified carbonpaste electrodes as sensors [19], immunoassay [20,21], radioreceptor assay [22], separation techniques like TLCdensitometry [23,24] and RPLC-ESI MS [25,26], Ultra Performance LC-MS/TOF (UPLC-MS/TOF) [27], micellar EKC (MEKC) [28,29], GC-nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC/ NPD) [30], GC-electron capture detection (GC-ECD) [31], GC-MS detection [32,33], GC-FID [34] and HPLC coupled with fluorescence detector [35], chemiluminescence detector [36], UV -Vis detector or HPLC-DAD [37,38], HPLC-ECD [39], HPLC-MS [40 -42], or HPLC-MS/MS [43].…”
