Ethanol was administered intravenously to rabbits. The concentration of ethanol, determined by gas chromatographic analysis, in lacrimal fluid was shown to reflect the concentration in plasma. The vapour above lacrimal fluid was analyzed in situ by the use of a small resistivity sensor that measures ethanol vapours. After a dose of approximately 750 mg/kg, the metabolic rates of ethanol determined by gas chromatographic analysis of plasma (226 ± 13 mg∙kg−1∙h−1) and by eye ethanol vapour analysis (210 ± 8 mg∙kg−1∙h−1) were virtually identical. The data suggest that ethanol eye vapour analysis may be an attractive, noninvasive method for the determination of ethanol in animals.

Abstract A solution of boron trichloride in methanol was employed for the complete transcsterification of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T esters to the corresponding methyl esters. Gas chromatographic analysis of the methyl esters permitted mixtures of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T esters in commercial formidations to be analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively with no sample cleanup. The method is highly specific and detected the presence of other contaminating isomers of dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Gas chromatography was also used to qualitatively analyze mixtures of various alkyl esters of 2,4-D.
