A simple method for detecting ethylene glycol in urine by thin layer chromatography.
A thin layer chromatographic method is presented for determining ethylene glycol in urine. The method uses 5% vanillin in sulfuric acid as the chromogenic reagent. Since the method is simple and sensitive, it provides a practical means of diagnosing ethylene glycol poisoning in clinical situations.
