Identification of routine mycobacterial isolates by gas-liquid chromatography profile analysis was performed on 335 strains received at the Mayo Clinic over a 10-month period. Comparison of identification by gas-liquid chromatography versus conventional biochemical profiles was made. The two methods agreed on the identification of 320 isolates, with gas-liquid chromatography profiling making ei...

One hundred blood specimens have been analyzed for blood oxygen content simultaneously by the Van Slyke gasometric technic and gas chromatographic technic. The two ;technics agree within ±0.83 Vol.%. The gas chromatography instrument must be standardized by comparing its FesuIts with another blood oxygen procedure such as the Van Slyke technic. Suggestions are made for the improvement of the ga...

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) which are toxic pollutants are released by various sources of urban combustion. ahvaz in iran with around a million population and the industrial and oil centers, has encountered air quality problems. samples of dibenzo (a,h) antheracen were collected from six stations in ahvaz particle and gas phase in summer 2010. dibenzo(a,h) antheracen were collected ...

A gas chromatographic method of pregnanediol determination has been carried out on 24-hr. urine specimens collected during various phases of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. Pregnanediol values were correlated with endometrial histology and cycle day in nonpregnant subjects, and with duration of gestation during pregnancy. Determinations were performed on free pregnanediol and on the a...

the essential oil of peucedanum ru t h e n i c u m fruits, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. among the 31 identified constituents accounting for 83.9% of the total oil, the major components were 1,8-cineole (11.15%), camphor (5.86%), z-carveol (6.88%), l-carvone (5.61%), 8,9-dehydroisolongifolene (11.35%), caryophyllene o...

We report a fast, simple high-performance liquid-chromatographic assay for serum alpha-tocopherol, with use of a reversed-phase column and tocol as internal standard. Only 200 microliter of serum is required. Isocratic elution of the n-hexane extract is done within 6 min; total analysis time is less than 1 h. Within-day precision (CV) was 2.3% for 24 samples of a normal plasma pool (mean concn,...
