[Gas chromatographic determination of D-mannitol in body fluids (author's transl)]. 1978

C Schweickhardt

A rapid, highly reproducible method is described for the determination of mannitol in body fluids. The method is based on the gas chromatography of the n-butylborate derivative. Recovery is greater than 90%, and the variation coefficient within the series is 1--3%.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008353	Mannitol	A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity.	(L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin

D001881	Borates	Inorganic or organic salts and esters of boric acid.	Borate
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.
