The analytical method described has the advantages of rapidity, sensitivity, and giving clean-cut separations, but the nitrogen peak height (or area) is affected by the presence of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. Because the important variable is composition and not sample size, more extensive calibration is needed than normal. The enhancement of the nitrogen peak height is linear with respect to per cent nitric oxide, but because nitric oxide is not directly determined, its peak height cannot be used to evaluate a suitable
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
