Abstract

Powerful analytical techniques are one key requirement for the successful drug research and drug development. The concentration of drugs, prodrugs, and metabolites has to be determined in very diverse matrices such as plasma (blood), urine, feces, and also in different organ tissues (depending on the nature of drug and on the targeted organs).
