A modification of the Folin–Malmros micromethod is described for the determination of fish blood glucose. A more efficient separation of blood proteins is obtained by precipitating 0.1 ml blood in 10.0 ml tungstic acid. This is followed by hot alkaline reduction of ferricyanide, and colorimetric measurement of a Prussian blue – sodium lauryl sulphate suspension. The method, which eliminates certain difficulties found in other procedures, has been successfully applied in more than a thousand analyses of blood from two species of fish (Opsanus and Ictalurus) having glucose concentrations between 15 and 250 mg per cent.

Abstract A sensitive gas-chromatographic method suitable for clinical and forensic purposes is presented for measuring methamphetamine, amphetamine, and other phenethylamines in blood and urine. When testing blood, we include a known quantity of a homologous standard, n-propylamphetamine hydrochloride, in the tungstic-acid solution used to precipitate blood proteins; the acid filtrate is washed, alkalinized, and extracted with ether. Extracted phenethylamines are converted to the corresponding acetamides, which are then concentrated and gas-chromatographed. The method for urine is similar except the known quantity of n-propylamphetamine hydrochloride is added to the sample, the protein precipitation is omitted, and chloroform is the extracting solvent. Suitable tests are described for the more stringent confirmation of amphetamine and methamphetamine required for court testimony. Retention data obtained from both a polar and a nonpolar column packing are presented for over 50 compounds related to phenethylamine.

Abstract Because we recently observed two patients with severe diabetic hyperglycemia and spuriously elevated electronically determined hematocrit and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), we investigated the effect of hyperglycemia on two popular automated hematology systems, the Coulter S and Ortho ELT-8. Marked hyperglycemia (blood glucose 800-- 2000 mg/dl) caused consistent overestimation of the electronically determined MCV compared to that derived from a simultaneous spun microhematocrit. The resultant overestimation and underestimation, respectively, of the derived values for hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration may be clinically misleading. The mechanism of MCV elevation in hyperglycemia appears to be swelling of hyperosmolar glucose “loaded” erythrocytes when diluted into “isotonic” counting medium. This effect is readily circumvented by determination of a spun microhematocrit.
