Two modified methods for assaying sodium diclofenac were developed by GC and HPLC. Diclofenac was converted into methyl ester derivative by methyl iodide in acetone. The ester was extract and subjected to GLC with flame ionization detector. %5 SE-30/chrom W-HP (80-100 mesh) was used as a column in GC. For reversed phase HPLC, the mobile phase was methanol and water (55-45). The separation was p...

Accurate methods are described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of medazepam, diazepam, and nitrazepam in 5 ml of whole blood. Medazepam and diazepam are analyzed intact and nitrazepam is chromatographed as its trimethylsilyl derivative by flame-ionization gas-chromatography on “1% OV-17.” A supplementary column of “2% OV-1” is used to separate nitrazepam TMS from diazepam whe...

The development of flame ionization detection took place on an empirical basis without a clear understanding of the 1 mechanism. The study of flames by mass spectrometry showed that the all-important ion was the formylium ion CHO . The pre-combustion degradation was thought to be a pyrolytic degradation and hydrogenation at the high temperatures obtained close to the combustion zone. Using a ca...

A gas chromatographic method for the simultaneous analysis of halothane and nitrous oxide in operating theatre atmospheres has been developed and evaluated. The flame ionization detector is suitable for the quantitative analysis of halothane in concentrations approaching one part per million. The frequency-modulated electron capture detector is highly sensitive to nitrous oxide but we have foun...

The specific nitrogen flame-ionization detector was used for the rapid simultaneous determination of eight anticonvulsant drugs and one drug metabolite in plasma and for three of the drugs in tissues. The system of analysis allows the occasional rapid estimation of barbiturate in plasma. No derivative formation is required and the whole range of drugs can be determined in a single diethyl ether...

The gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acids has attracted considerable interest. In this analysis, the common derivatives of fatty acids, such as fatty acid methyl esters, can be detected using a flame ionization detector and the mass spectra can indicate the true structure of fatty acids. This paper reviews gas chromatographic methods for obtaining fatty acids from marine organisms. The st...
