Abstract Ascorbic acid was measured in 125 plasma samples by an automated colorimetric method involving dichlorophenolindophenol and by a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic procedure with electrochemical detection. The two methods gave comparable results for samples with ascorbate concentrations of 1 to 20 mg/L (r = 0.97). We also measured the amount of total ascorbate (ascorbic acid + dehydroascorbic acid) in the same samples by a liquid-chromatographic procedure with precolumn derivitization of ascorbic acid. We confirmed that plasma contains little dehydroascorbic acid.

Abstract The confirmation of 2,4- and 2,6-toluenediamine (TDA) in aqueous extracts from boil-in-bags and retortable pouches is described. The extracts were initially analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatographic procedure and any apparent 2,4- and/or 2,6-TDA were quantitated. The liquid chromatographic effluent corresponding to any apparent 2,4- or 2,6-TDA was collected. TDA was then partitioned into ethyl acetate and reacted with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA). The TDA-TFAA derivative formed was confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) using a 1.2 m × 0.32 cm nickel column packed with 6% OV-17 on Superpak-20M. Results obtained from analyzing extracts of several retortable pouches and boil-in-bags showed levels of TDA migration ranging from <0.1 to 2.2 ppb (μg/L). Additional confirmation of the TDA-TFAA derivative from retortable pouches by multiple ion detection GC/mass spectrometry is also described.

Abstract A "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic procedure for 5-hydroxy-3-indoleacetic acid is described and compared with a colorimetric method in which 1-nitroso-2-naphthol is used. The analyte and an internal standard, p-nitrobenzoic acid, were extracted into diethyl ether from urine at pH 4.0 (acidified with HCl) to which sodium chloride had been added, and the ether was back-extracted with acetate buffer, pH 9.2. Aliquots of this extract were injected into a reversed-phase liquid-chromatographic column and eluted with pH 3.5 acetate buffer/methanol (95/5 by vol); the effluent was monitored at 254 nm. The precision (CV) of the method was 11.8% at 1.8 mg/L, 5.5% at 92 mg/L. Analytical recovery averaged 84%. The colorimetric method gave higher values for the analyte than did the chromatographic method for all patients' urines.

AbstractCarbonyl stress compounds such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal have been recently attracting much attention because of their possible clinical significance in chronic and age-related diseases. A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the simultaneous quantitation of glyoxal and methylglyoxal in human urine. The assay is based on the reaction of these compounds with 1,2-diamino-4,5-dimethoxybenzene to form fluorescent adducts, which are separated by reversed-phase highperformance liquid chromatography in a total run time of 45 minutes and quantitated fluorometrically using 2,3-pentanedione as an internal standard. Derivatization is performed for diluted urine (100–120 mOsm/kg H
