Abstract Improvements in the microcoulometric halogen system allow analysis of as little as 1 ppb chlorinated pesticides with specificity and linearity. Modifications were made in the sulfuric acid method of extracting pesticides from human whole blood to obtain recovery of 24 pesticides and 7 industrial chemicals. Recovery data were tabulated. Retention time and response tables for OV-210 and SE-30/QF-1 columns were prepared for these compounds, using the microcoulometric detector.

Abstract Eight whole blood samples spiked with lindane, dieldrin, and p,p′-DDT at levels of 2.5, 12.6, 126, and 630 ppb each were sent to 11 collaborators for analysis. The method evaluated uses sulfuric acid to liberate the pesticides from the blood matrix. The pesticides are then extracted with 10% acetone in hexane. Pesticides were identified and quantitatively analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, using an electron capture detector. Mean values at all levels are in good agreement with the spiking levels. However, statistical analysis of the data reveals a large systematic error. Further evaluation of the sulfuric acid method by comparison with other methods is recommended.

1. The phagocytic titre of whole human blood against the three types of pneumococcus was determined in a number of individuals. The titre varied over a considerable range in different subjects. 2. Contrary to expectation, the titre in early cases of untreated pneumonia was quite high against the infecting organism, pointing to a local rather than a general lowering of resistance in infection with this organism. 3. Sia's work was confirmed, that the specific carbohydrate has a specific anti-phagocytic action on the blood. This action is more marked in the case of Type III than in Type I.

We describe a relatively simple method for the determination of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) in human whole blood. We have used an HPLC with coulometric electrochemical detection for the simultaneous measurement of GSH and GSSG. Diluted and filtered trichloroacetic acid extracts were injected directly into the HPLC system and were eluted isocratically on a Polaris 5u C18-A, 250 × 4.6 mm analytical column. Glutathione in samples extracted with trichloroacetic acid and diluted with 1.0 mMhydrochloric acid was stable at 4 °C for at least 8 h. The analytical performance of this method is satisfactory: the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were below 10%. Quantitative recoveries from spiked whole blood samples were at intervals 91.6–97.6% for GSH and 85.0–104.4% for GSSG. The linear range is 5.0–2000.0 μmol/l, with a detection limit of 2.1 μmol/l (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) for GSH and 2.0–250.0 μmol/l, with a detection limit of 0.9 μmol/l for GSSG.
