“…To date, Bac has been determined in various biological materials using techniques based on gas (Giovanni & d'Aloja, ; Kochak & Hunc, ) or liquid (Ban, Park, & Kim, ; Fraser, MacNeil, & Isner, ; Tosunoglu & Ersoy, ) chromatography, liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (Di Rago et al, ; Dukova et al, ; Flardh & Jacobson, ; Sørensen & Hasselstrøm, ), HPLC with UV–vis and fluorescent detection (Cao & Li, ; Harrison, Tonkin, & Mclean, ), HPLC‐fluorescence detection after derivatization (Tosunoglu & Ersoy, ; Wuis, Dirks, Vree, & van der Kleyn, ) and HPLC‐electrochemical detection (Millerioux, Brault, Gualano, & Mignot, ). In addition, separation of naphthalene‐2,3‐dicarboxaldehyde‐derivatves of ( RS )‐Bac has been obtained (Chang & Yang, ; Chang, Zheng, & Chen, ; Chiang, Chang, & Whang, , ) using capillary electrophoresis (CE), and a chiral capillary column was employed to separate N ‐heptafluorobutyryl isobutyl ester derivatives of ( RS )‐Bac in human plasma and urine (Sioufi, Kaiser, Leroux, & Dubois, ).…”
