Application of Second-Derivate Spectroscopy to the Simultaneous Identification and Determination of Plasma Salicylate and Paracetamol

Abstract
A fast and accurate method for the simultaneous identification and determination of plasma salicylate and paracetamol using Second-Derivate Spectroscopy is described. The method uses a common extraction procedure thus reducing both the quantity of the sample required and the time necessary to carry out the analysis.
