ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of extracting tacrolimus in a test blood sample to use in a tacrolimus quantification assay. The method of the present invention extracts tacrolimus in non-precipitating, non-denaturing aqueous environment, avoiding cumbersome manual pretreatment procedures or the use of organic solvents. The method of the present invention permits full automation of tacrolimus quantification assays.
