Commercial formaldehyde standard for mass calibration in mass spectrometry.

J. Mass Spectrom. 50(3) , 463-9, (2015)

Common calibration standards for mass spectrometry can be a source of many problems including instrument contamination, ionization suppression and formation of unidentified ions during subsequent analysis. In this article, we present a new approach for the ca...

Biotransformation and kinetics of excretion of tert-amyl-methyl ether in humans and rats after inhalation exposure.

Toxicol. Sci. 55(2) , 274-83, (2000)

tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME) may be widely used as an additive to gasoline in the future. The presence of this ether in gasoline reduces the tail pipe emission of pollutants. Therefore, widespread human exposure to TAME may occur. To contribute to the charac...

Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric screening for organic acidemias using dried urine filter paper: determination of alpha-ketoacids.

J. Chromatogr. B. Biomed. Sci. Appl. 758(1) , 87-94, (2001)

There are several organic acid disorders that require information on alpha-ketoacids, such as maple syrup urine disease or alpha-ketoadipic acidemia. The recovery, stability and diagnostic availability of alpha-ketoacids in dried urine filter paper analyzed b...

Biotransformation of MTBE, ETBE, and TAME after inhalation or ingestion in rats and humans.

Res. Rep. Health Eff. Inst. (102) , 29-71; discussion 95-109, (2001)

The biotransformation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), and tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME) was studied in humans and in rats after inhalation of 4 and 40 ppm of MTBE, ETBE, and TAME, respectively, for 4 hours, and the biotransfo...
