The gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acids has attracted considerable interest. In this analysis, the common derivatives of fatty acids, such as fatty acid methyl esters, can be detected using a flame ionization detector and the mass spectra can indicate the true structure of fatty acids. This paper reviews gas chromatographic methods for obtaining fatty acids from marine organisms. The st...

We describe the use of electron-capture gas chromatography or reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid chromatography for concurrent analysis for diazepam and nordiazepam in serum. In the gas-chromatographic analysis our use of a new chemically deactivated stationary liquid phase, SP 2250-DB (Supelco, Inc.), resulted in improved chromatographic sensitivity and peak symmetry for the two benzodia...

Introduction A comprehensive review of gas-chromatographic methods for determining the concentration of circulating antiepileptic drug has been presented (1 ). Because most epileptic patients receive one or more drugs to control their seizures, it is therapeutically desirable to have a method for monitoring the concentrations of each of these drugs in serum. The chemistry of pyrolysis with meth...
