title: Gas-liquid chromatography reference method for the assay of urinary creatinine.
abstract: The gas-liquid chromatographic measurement of urinary creatinine described in this paper employs methylation, the use of a diethylene glycol succinate stationary phase, an internal L-hydroxyproline standard and a temperature of 180 degrees C. The technique, which is specific and reproducible, is shown to be a reference method providing more precise and reliable results than a conventional colorimetric method. In addition, it can be used as a routine method because of its simplicity.
