A Method for Analysis of Free and Total Ropivacaine in Dog Plasma Using UHPLC–MS/MS

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic commonly used in veterinary anesthesia. A liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) method was developed to quantify free and total ropivacaine in dog plasma, which included rapid equilibrium dialysis.
