Determination of xylitol in human urine by gas-liquid chromatography. 1979

L R Horn, and L J Machlin, and J G Hamilton

A rapid and specific method for the quantitative determination of xylitol in human urine has been developed. The method consists of the gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of the acetate ester derivative of the alditol in deionized urine using dulcitol as an internal standard. As little as 20 ng xylitol can be detected. At concentrations ranging from 25 to 400 micrograms/ml urine, the accuracy is +/- 4.0%.

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.
