DETERMINATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE IN BLOOD BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY USING A THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY DETECTOR

A method is described for the gas chromatographic quantitation of carbon monoxide by means of thermal conductivity detection. Carbon monoxide is released from blood samples as small as 0.02 mL using a unique extraction chamber. The method was compared to a standard gas chromatographic and spectrophotometric method of carbon monoxide quantitation. It was comparable to the former with all samples evaluated and apparently more reliable than the latter with decomposed samples.
