Working on the Fluoxetine analytics

Yes here at Yale we have been working on the medicinal analytics to determine the Fluoxetine level in the blood of animals. We are working with the Yale West Campus Analytical Core to use mass spectroscopy to quanitfy the Fluoxetine level. We have successfully tested an extraction method from serum and the MS is detecting the molecule. The only remaining problem is that Fluoxetine is eluding too slowly from the chromatography collumn, but that will not be a major obstacle since there is so much published literature about the chemistry of this molecule. Now waiting for samples to arrive from Cincinnati!
