BACKGROUND Our purpose was to establish a mass spectrometry reference measurement procedure (RMP) for cholesterol to use in the CDC's standardization programs. We explored a gas chromatography–isotope dilution mass spectrometry (GC-IDMS) procedure using a multilevel standard calibration curve to quantify samples with varying cholesterol concentrations. METHODS We calibrated the mass spectrometry instrument by isotope dilution with a pure primary standard reference material and an isotopically enriched cholesterol analog as the internal standard (IS). We diluted the serum samples with Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4, 0.05 mol/L, 0.25% Triton X-100) before analysis. We used 17 serum pools, 10 native samples, and 2 standard reference materials (SRMs). We compared the GC-IDMS measurements with the CDC's modified Abell–Levy–Brodie–Kendall (AK) RMP measurements and assessed method accuracy by analyzing 2 SRMs. We evaluated the procedure for lack of interference by analyzing serum spiked with a mixture of 7 sterols. RESULTS The mean percent bias between the AK and the GC-IDMS RMP was 1.6% for all samples examined. The mean percent bias from NIST's RMP was 0.5% for the SRMs. The total %CVs for SRM 1951b levels I and II were 0.61 and 0.73%, respectively. We found that none of the sterols investigated interfered with the cholesterol measurement. CONCLUSIONS The low imprecision, linear response, lack of interferences, and acceptable bias vs the NIST primary RMP qualifies this procedure as an RMP for determining serum cholesterol. The CDC will adopt and implement this GC-IDMS procedure for cholesterol standardization.

The purposeofthis research is to analyze the water quality of Bengawan Solo River in Bojonegoro Regency. Water sampling was carried out at 6 monitoring points along the Bengawan Solo River in Bojonegoro Regency. Determination of sampling monitoring points, based on the differences of characteristics that exist in the study area. Some parameters issued are temperature, conductivity, COD, BOD, and Oil/ fat food which are then compared with the criteria for Class III standards of river water quality in accordance with the Regional Regulation of East Java Province Number 2 of 2008. Based on the analysis results obtained at each point monitor, area 1, is the most polluted area. It is caused, in this area, there are several activity of downtown. Households produce waste from bathroom, toilet, kitchen, washing clothes and washing household appliances.
