BACKGROUND: Solid phase extraction (SPE) are one of many multi-component methods, but can be very time-consuming and labour-intensive. Protein precipitation is, on the other hand, a much simpler and faster sample pre-treatment than SPE, and protein precipitation also has the ability to cover a wider range of components. AIM: The aim was to develop a robust semi-automated analytical method for whole blood samples based on a protein precipitation method already used in the lab (Sørensen and Hasselstrøm, 2013). The setup should improve the speed, robustness, and reliability of anteand post-mortem whole blood sample preparation for toxicological analysis; from the primary sample tube to a 96-deepwell plate ready for injection on the liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
