Trichloroethane in urine by detector MS-head space

Trichloroethane in urine by detector MS-head space (code  GC16010) – 100 tests package.

INSIGHTS
Trichloroethane is an alkyl halide at room temperature, which is presented as a colorless, sweet smelling liquid. Trichloroethane is used in the metalworking industry as a cleaner and degreaser and in the removal of PVC waste from metals such as silver and copper. In the electronics industry it is used as a solvent of photoresist and as a co-solvent in the production of paints, inks, glues and adhesives. Trichloroethane is absorbed by inhalation and only 4% is metabolized via Cit. P-450 to Trichloroethanol and subsequently to trichloroacetic acid. 90% is exhaled. Trichloroethane affects the human central nervous system presenting the classic symptoms of intoxication such as vomiting, confusion, unconsciousness and in severe cases death.

Principle of the Method:

This method determines the trichloroethane urinary GC / MS headspace. The trichloroethane is first diluted and then is directly injected into GC.
