Abstract
A gas chromatographic method for the analysis of ritalinic acid, the major metabolite of methylphenidate, in urine has been developed. Solid phase extraction is employed to afford high recovery of ritalinic acid. The method has a lower limit for reliable quantitation of 1 μ/ml. The reliability and sensitivity of this method make it suitable for human studies.
