A novel solid-phase extraction (SPE) method and HPLC method were developed for the determination of methadone and its metabolite from spiked human urine. For sample cleanup, a spiked urine sample was pretreated with phosphoric acid followed by a well-thought-out SPE method using a 10-mg Oasis HLB 96-well extraction plate. In this SPE method, the concentration of methanol as well as the pH are optimized to preferentially isolate the analytes of interest from the sample matrix. Low elution volumes (200 microl) are achieved; this eliminates evaporation and reconstitution of the sample solution. Recoveries from human urine matrix were greater than 91% with RSD values less than 4.5%. For the HPLC analysis, the separation was obtained using a SymmetryShield RP18 column with a mobile phase of 0.1% TFA-methanol (60:40, v/v). Good peak shapes were obtained without the need of addition of any competing reagent to the mobile phase. Additionally, significant signal-to-noise enrichment was achieved by diluting the final SPE eluates four-fold with water.
