Abstract: The previously developed hyphenated system of flow injection on-line solid phase extraction-capillary zone electrophoresis(FI-SPE-CZE) was adapted to the determination of trace pseudoephedrine in human plasma. Interference from the coexisting species was eliminated by off-line and on line sample cleaning-up, and by optimization of CZE separation conditions. The sensitivity of hyphenated system was improved by increasing of loaded sample volume and strengthening of field amplified stacking effect. Thus, plasma samples, after deproteinized by off-line precipitation, could be consecutively loaded onto the FI-SPE-CZE system, and trace amounts of pseudoephedrine be automatically preconcentrated, separated and determined by the system. The adapted FI-SPE-CZE system was successfully applied to determination of trace pseudoephedrine in volunteer s plasma samples for pharmacokinetic studies after administration of the drug with normal dosage.
