Analysis of γ-hydroxybutyric acid, DL-lactic acid, glycolic acid, ethylene glycol and other glycols in body fluids by a direct injection gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay for wide use

Abstract: Analysis of blood of severely intoxicated patients always requires prompt investigation. Diagnosis of intoxication with ethylene glycol, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid or D-lactic acid takes hours, since several different procedures are required. Rapid derivatization of the common hydroxyl function may resolve this analytical problem. Here we describe a fast method for the simultaneous measurement of ethylene glycol, glycolic acid, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid and racemic lactic acid. Only 20 microl of serum, plasma o… Show more

“…Both the initial concentration and the concentration obtained by reanalysis using our described method varied from -4 to 4 % from their mean, well in line with the above mentioned requirement for ISR. Furthermore, analyzing the study samples by the use of HS-trap and by the use of the method by Van hee et al [12] led to similar GHB concentrations for the same sample. The difference between the two obtained results was within -9.4 to 16.7 % from the mean, calculated by dividing the difference between the two results (separately obtained by the two above-…”

“…Furthermore, for method comparison, we performed a cross-validation by analyzing an aliquot of the samples at the Laboratory of Toxicology of ZNA Stuivenberg Hospital in Antwerp, using the method of Van hee et al [12]. The difference between the result obtained by the newly developed HS-trap method and that obtained by the previously published method for the determination of GHB should be within 20 % of the mean for at least 67 % of the samples [25].…”
