title: Gas chromatographic assay of volatile anesthetics: some problems and a solution.
abstract: A modification of the gas chromatographic procedure of Fink and Morikawa (ANESTHESIOLOGY 32:451-455, 1970) for measuring inhalation anesthetics is presented. Emphasis is placed on separating vehicular gas from anesthetic vapor by using appropriate column packing material and assay conditions.
