An efficient method for the simultaneous determination of eight steroids, androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone, androsterone, etiocholanolone, progesterone and pregnenolone, in human hair by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using d3-testosterone as internal standard is described. The method involves alkaline digestion, liquid-liquid...

A method for the measurement of uric acid in human serum by isotope dilution-mass spectrometry is described. The analytical procedure consists of the following steps: Addition of [1,3-15N2]uric acid to the serum sample; ion exchange chromatography on AG1-X2; formation of the trimethylsilyl derivative; gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), selected ion monitoring (SIM) at m/z-valu...

A rapid, simple, and sensitive electrospray LC/MS method has been developed for the quantitative analysis of cocaine and benzoylecgonine in urine using electrospray with the Agilent 1100 LC/MSD system. Urine samples were extracted using solid phase extraction cartridges, and the drug and metabolite were analyzed without derivatization using an isocratic separation and selected ion monitoring (S...

OBJECTIVE Because the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 1970's was performed using a packed column gas chromatograph, with an electron capture detector to determine total-PCB concentration, analytical data obtained by this analysis do not meet the requirement for the risk assessment of PCB congeners. In this context, the present study was carried out to reevaluate the congeneric a...

This paper discusses the role of interpretation in innovative design and proposes an approach to providing computer support for interpretation in design. According to situated cognition theory, most of a designer’s knowledge is normally tacit. Situated interpretation is the process of explicating something that is tacitly understood, within its larger context. The centrality of interpretation t...

A simplified method for the determination of benzylaminopurine in agricultural products by LC/MS was investigated. Benzylaminopurine in agricultural products was extracted with acetone and the extract was concentrated to below 30 mL. Buffer solution of pH 9.0 and ethyl acetate were added to the residue, and the solution was shaken. The ethyl acetate layer was evaporated to dryness, and the resi...
