Quantification was carried out using a reversed-phasehigh-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method in isocratic mode at room temperature, with electrochemical detection at an applied potential of + 1 V vs. Ag/AgCI. Under these conditions, the retention time for ethynyloestradiol was ca. 2.9 min , the average recovery from plasma was 74.5%, and the limit of detection was 10 pg, corresponding to a plasma concentration of 50 pg/ml using 1 mlof plasma. Natural oestrogens, oestriol, oestradiol and oestrone showed peaks that did not interfere with ethynyloestradiol, and retention times of ca. 0.8, 2.4 and 3.4 min, respectively.
