Established Drug Assays

The following list represents previously developed and validated drug assays established in the UW Pharmacokinetics Laboratory. Most have been validated according to FDA guidelines for bioanalytical methods. For research projects requiring analysis of these drugs, the timeline may be expedited since method development is already complete. Metabolites and other products are listed below the main compound, when applicable.
