Abstract

Small amounts of blood CO were measured by gas chromatography following vacuum extraction in a Van Slyke manometric apparatus. The coefficient of variation for 23 consecutive duplicate determinations on blood samples containing 0.0113-2.3830 ml/100 ml averaged 1. 95%. The method equals the precision of previously described techniques, is specific for CO, and is relatively simple to perform.
