Abstract Phthalates leached from plastic tubing or other plastic devices may interfere with gas-chromatographic determination of long-chain fatty acids in plasma. In the case of hospitalized patients who have received infusions or had blood drawn through plastic tubing, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry may be required for accurate determination of such fatty acids.
