Microtechniques for the gas chromatographic determination of barbiturates in small blood samples. 1978

W Dünges, and E Bergheim-Irps, and H Straub, and R E Kaiser

A method for the determination of therapeutic levels of barbituric acids in 25 microliter of whole blood is described. After extraction and controlled concentration of the extract to a volume of 5 microliter, the barbituric acids are N,N'-dimethylated using a microrefluxer. Of the total extract 20-100% is injected into the gas chromatograph. Low blanks, recoveries of 70--80% and peak ratios that are comparable to those in calibration experiments are obtained provided the detailed working instructions are followed strictly. In addition, barbiturates were determined (1 ng in 25 microliter blood) using column-switching devices and nitrogen-sensitive detection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008832 Microchemistry The development and use of techniques and equipment to study or perform chemical reactions, with small quantities of materials, frequently less than a milligram or a milliliter.
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.
