title: N-benzoyl, L-glutamic acid as a suitable internal standard for the analysis of trans,trans-muconic acid in human urine by liquid chromatography.
abstract: Urinary trans,trans-muconic acid is a sensitive biomarker for low level benzene exposure. The method described by Ducos et al. (Int Arch Occup Environ Health 1990; 62:529-34) is commonly used for its determination. In this study, we demonstrate that N-benzoyl, L-glutamic acid added to urine samples is a suitable internal standard to control trans,trans-muconic acid recovery after solid phase extraction of urine and to compensate for variations which might occur during high-performance liquid chromatography analysis.
