Chromatographic determination of thiodiglycolic acid - a metabolite of vinyl chloride. 1981

W Dramiński, and B Trojanowska

The determination of thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) In urine by gas chromatography (GC) is described. The analytical procedure includes addition of internal standard (o-phthalic acid), ethyl acetate extraction, evaporation of the solvent and silylation of TDGA with N-trimethylsilyl-diethylamine in pyridine (1:1). The results are calculated from the ratio of TDGA and internal standard peak heights. The detection limit of the method is 10 mg/l and the coefficient of various is +/- 5%.

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.
