Abstract

An improved method for the identification and quantification of organic acids in body fluids employing capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed. A thick-film capillary column, that combines the properties of a capillary column with those of a megabore column, has been successfully introduced into an existing method. Analysis over a concentration range from 1 μmol/l to 500 μmol/l body fluid is possible. This permits the assay of samples that are usually obtained in small volumes, e.g. cerebrospinal fluid.
