Method Description

Urine volumes are spiked with a mixture of internal standards and evaporated. The dry residue is derivatized to form the diastereomeric molecules, then acidified and extracted. After evaporation, the dry residue is derivatized esters at the carboxylic acid moiety. Specimens are then analyzed by capillary gas chromatography mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring using chemical ionization, with chromatographic separation of the L,L- and D,L-diastereoisomers of derivatized 2-hydroxyglutaric acid (2-HGA), corresponding to L-2-HGA and D-2-HGA, respectively.(Unpublished Mayo method)
