The measurement of plasma fentanyl concentration by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and gas liquid chromatography (GLC) using either a flame ionization detector (FID) or nitrogen/phosphorus detector (NPD) has been compared. RIA is a satisfactory but expensive method of measuring plasma fentanyl concentration. GLC using an FID is not as satisfactory as RIA, but when an NPD is used the results are equal to those of RIA. In addition, other analgesics which are chemically similar to fentanyl, such as alfentanil, may also be measured by the GLC/NPD combination using the same set of operating conditions. By contrast, an RIA method is usually specific for only one compound, and measurement of additional drugs would almost certainly necessitate the development of new assay kits for each one.
