A REACTION VESSEL FOR USE IN GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS. APPLICATION FOR BLOOD CARBON MONOXIDE DETERMINATION.
Abstract
A reaction vessel was designed and constructed for use in gas chromatographic analysis of gases liberated from aqueous solutions. The apparatus is a self contained attachment which replaces the standard gas sampling loop on the chromatograph. A single interchangeable glass tube with a ground glass joint is used and is convenient to prepare, clean and replace between analyses. Gas sweep-out characteristics of the vessel were tested with carbon monoxide liberated from a carboxyhemoglobin solution. A sweep-out period with the carrier gas of 1 to 3 minutes was shown to recover 99.4 to 99.7 per cent of the total CO originally present in the solution. The usefulness of the reaction vessel was demonstrated by the measurement of blood carbon monoxide content in a series of 74 hospital patients. (Author)
