An improved procedure for the determination of ethylene glycol in blood

H H McCurdy et al. J Anal Toxicol. 1982 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A method is presented for the analysis of ethylene glycol in whole blood by GC/FID using 1,2-butanediol as the internal standard (IS). The diols are derivatized during extraction from whole blood using n-butylboronic acid and then extracted as pseudo weak acids prior to analysis. As little as 10 mg/L of ethylene glycol in blood can be detected by this method.
