RESUMEN
Objective@#To establish a method for determination of methyl ethyl ketone in urine by headspace gas chromatography.@*Methods@#In the urine sample(hereinafter referred to as urine sample), methyl ethyl ketone is pretreated by headspace technology, and a certain amount of head air is injected into the gas chromatograph, separated by capillary column, detected by hydrogen flame ionization detector, and the retention time is qualitative and the peak height is high. Peak area.@*Results@#Good linearity was in the range of 0.01 to 6.0 μg/ml with a regression equation of y=13.316x+0.8497 and γ=0.9997.The minimum detectable concentration of methyl ethyl ketone was 0.01 μg/ml. The range intra-day RSD and inter-day RSD were 2.2%-5.5% and 2.5%-6.1% respectively. Urine samples can be stored for 20 days in the refrigerator at 4 ℃.@*Conclusion@#The method has a high advantage of sensitivity and accuracy, and also easy to operate. Therefore, it is suitable for the determination of methyl ethyl ketone in urine.
