[A sensitive, specific colorimetric method for determining paracetamol in human plasma (author's transl)].

A sensitive and specific colorimetric assay for paracetamol (acetaminophen) in plasma is described. After a selective column extraction (Extrelut) and hydrolysis, paracetamol is determined by the (modified) Axelrod and Brodie procedure. The whole processing is performed in a centrifuge tube.
