title: Serum skatole detection using gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: Skatole-spiked boar serum was used to evaluate the degradation of skatole during frozen storage and to evaluate gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for measuring serum skatole. Tubes of serum spiked with 1 ppm skatole which had been stored in a freezer (-15°C) for 4 months and tubes of fresh spiked serum (1 ppm skatole) were utilized. No differences (P > 0·05) between GC and HPLC determination in sensitivity and skatole recovery were observed. Measurements of skatole by GC and HPLC were highly correlated (r = 0·93). Both GC and HPLC revealed no difference (P > 0·05) between fresh spiked serum and stored spiked serum samples.
