The reproducibility of protein removal from plasma samples was Plasma samples containing varying amounts of caffeine were prepared measured by applying the MUP-PPT procedure to 40 replicates of in blinded fashion and processed using the Mini-UniPrep along with normal human plasma. Filtrate was removed from the Mini-UniPrep known plasma standards containing caffeine. After compression and dried down in a microfuge tube prior to saline resuspension filtration, the standards and “unknowns” were analyzed by HPLC and micro-BCA protein quantitation. Percent protein removal was using 10% Acn/90% H 0 mobile phase and a Partisil® 5-ODS-3 reverse calculated by comparing the protein concentrations of pre- and phase column (4.6 x 100 mm) at a flow rate of 2 mL/min. The OD275 nm caffeine peaks as measured used to determine the caffeine concen-tration of the unknown samples by comparison to the standard set.
