  • Title: [Gas chromatography in quantitative analysis of hydrocyanic acid and its salts in cadaveric blood].
    Author: Iablochkin VD.
    Journal: Sud Med Ekspert; 2003; 46(6):31-3. PubMed ID: 14689782.
    Abstract:
    A direct gas chromatography method was designed for the quantitative determination of cyanides (prussic acid) in cadaveric blood. Its sensitivity is 0.05 mg/ml. The routine volatile products, including substances, which emerge due to putrefaction of organic matters, do not affect the accuracy and reproducibility of the method; the exception is H-propanol that was used as the internal standard. The method was used in legal chemical expertise related with acute cyanide poisoning (suicide) as well as with poisoning of products of combustion of nonmetals (foam-rubber). The absolute error does not exceed 10% with a mean quadratic deviation of 0.0029-0.0033 mg.
