A gas chromatographic method has been developed to determine the following metabolites in urine simultaneously if necessary: hippuric acid from toluene or styrene; 3- and 4-methyl hippuric acids from xylenes; phenylglyoxylic acid and mandelic acid from styrene. Heptadecanoic acid is added to the urine as an internal standard and after ethyl acetate extraction from acidic solution, the trimethyl...

A rapid gas-chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of butobarbitone, amylobarbitone, hexabarbitone, pentobarbitone, quinalbarbitone, phenobarbitone glutethimide, and methaqualone in ;finger-prick' samples of plasma. This has been applied to the analysis of some of these drugs in plasma taken from patients after therapeutic dosage and over-dosage.

This report gives basic practical information on the determination of (i) vinyl chloride and (ii) benzene in workplace atmospheres. Consideration has been given to sampling by charcoal tubes and by means of a glass syringe. The respective literature of the analytical procedure — the gas chromatographic method — is referred to. Determination by direct reading detector tubes has also been include...

HAVE ltEl’ORTED a comparison of methods for determining urniary pregnanediol and have shown that enzymatic hydrolysis of preglianelhiOl conjugate, preliminary purification using silica gel chromatography, anti gas chromatographic quantitation was the prefered method (1). hi this report we show a simple modification of this procedure that enables the simultaneous determination of pregnanediol ($...

A megabore column gas-liquid chromatographic method which uses nitrogen-phosphorus detection was developed for the analysis of fluconazole in plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, or urine. The assay was linear from 0.2 to 200 micrograms/ml and had an average coefficient of variation of 7%. The suitability of the assay for pharmacokinetic studies was demonstrated.

A rapid and accurate method is described for the determination of griseofulvin and dechlorogriseofulvin extracted from Penicillium urticae with chloroform. Thinlayer chromatography was used to tentatively identify griseofulvin or dechlorogriseofulvin, or both. Two gas-liquid chromatographic systems provided additional qualitative information and simultaneous quantitation of the individual compo...

We compared these three techniques for measuring chloramphenicol in serum or urine. Although each has its particular advantages, any of them is shown to be satisfactory and may appropriately be used by clinical laboratories, according to the facilities available.
