A method has been developed which utilizes an organic mass spectrometer for the measurement of I5N isotope enrichment in ammonia, based on conversion into hexamethylenetetramine. Commercially available equipment and minimal computing facilities were required. Ion current ratios were measured with a

โฆ Synopsis
We describe an evaluation of a transportable quadrupole mass spectrometer and the modifications required for the direct measurement of trace levels of organic solvents in breath. The instrument has been used in human volunteer breath studies and has potential as a non-invasive measure of industrial solvent uptake.

The use of turbulent flow chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (turbulent flow LC/MS) shows great potential for the rapid, direct analysis of pharmaceutical compounds in plasma and serum. The use of turbulent flow LC/MS has removed the need for any time-consuming sample preparation such as so
