title: Design of a gas chromatograph with parallel radioactivity and mass spectrometric detection. Application to the identification of the major metabolite of d-limonene associated with alpha 2u-globulin.
abstract: A Perkin Elmer 3920 gas chromatograph, equipped with a versatile inlet system (i.e. an injector/trap), was interfaced to a radioactivity detector and a mass-selective detector (H/P 5970B) to identify 14C-labeled compounds. The use of a pre-trap as a demountable, programmable-temperature injector, in conjunction with the injector/trap, allowed the introduction of 0.5-ml samples of rat kidney cytosol extracts to 0.32 mm I.D. capillary columns. The instrumentation greatly facilitated the identification of the major radiolabeled metabolite of d-limonene associated with the male rat-specific protein alpha 2u-globulin as 1,2-cis-d-limonene oxide.
