Preface

The analysis of drugs in complex biological matrices plays a very important role in drug development, the conduct of clinical trials, and in therapeutic drug monitoring. Numerous analytical techniques have been developed to perform bioanalysis, which include immunoassays, gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV), high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS or LC-MS), and high performance liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS or LC-MS/MS). A huge selection of analytical columns and mobile phases provides f
