Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of ethanol and acetaldehyde in blood with minimal artifactual acetaldehyde formation. 1985

N A Steenaart, and D W Clarke, and J F Brien

A gas-liquid chromatographic procedure utilizing headspace gas analysis is described for the determination of ethanol and its metabolite, acetaldehyde, in a 100-microliters sample of blood from the rat, guinea pig, sheep, or human. Artifactual formation of ethanol-derived acetaldehyde is minimized during sample preparation by using a chemical solution containing perchloric acid and sodium azide in saline, and thiourea. Aqueous standards of ethanol and acetaldehyde are used to calibrate the procedure, and 1-propanol is used as the internal standard of the method. The recovery of ethanol and acetaldehyde from spiked blood samples is quantitative and reproducible, with a within-day coefficient of variation of less than 7% for ethanol and less than 9% for acetaldehyde. The lower limit of quantitative sensitivity is 0.006 mg/ml ethanol and 0.10 microgram/ml acetaldehyde. The instrumental analysis time is less than 3 min, which enables high sample throughput.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D000079 Acetaldehyde A colorless, flammable liquid used in the manufacture of acetic acid, perfumes, and flavors. It is also an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It has a general narcotic action and also causes irritation of mucous membranes. Large doses may cause death from respiratory paralysis. Ethanal
D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
