A quantitative method for determination of nitroglycerin in human plasma was developed. Nitroglycerin and the internal standard (butane-1,2,4-triyl trinitrate) were extracted from plasma with pentane. The extracts were analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry using fused silica capillary col

β¦ Synopsis
We report an isotope dilution mass spectrometry method using capillary gas chromatography negative ion chemical ionization for the determination of cortisol in human plasma. Cortisol was derivatized with pentafluoropropionic anhydride at room temperature and measured by selected ion monitoring of the molecular ion. This method utilized (d_{4})-cortisol as an internal standard and required only a simple correction for the isotope contribution. A sensitivity as low as (0.02 \mathrm{pmol}(8 / n) (>10)) can be achieved easily. Therefore a plasma sample as small as (0.1 \mathrm{ml}) can be used for the accurate measurement of cortisol in humans. Cc 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
