β¦ Synopsis
Serum theophylline analysis was attempted using stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry. Theophylline "Nlabelled in position 7 was used as internal standard. The analysis was performed at resolution 3OOO by selected ion monitoring with temperature programming. The sample was introduced in underivatized form by means of the direct inlet probe. Good linearity was obtained in the concentration range 5-40 pg ml-' with relative standard deviations less than 6%. The method is simple and permits six samples to be run per hour. Sensitivity permits analysis at 0.5 pg ml-' at a signal to noise ratio 4: 1.

Combining isotope ratio monitoring with isotope dilution techniques provides very accurate results in the quantitative analysis of volatile organic chemical compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). However, this method requires that spikes highly enriched in 13 C be used. This may
