Summary
A procedure is described for the determination of the nerve agent Soman in serum. The nerve agent is separated from the serum on C18 modified silica and then eluted with benzene. The concentrated sample, to which butylacetate is added, is injected splitless into a polyethylene glycol (CP Wax 57) coated fused silica column. Solvent trapping of the analytes occurs due to the added butyl-acetate. The detection is performed with a nitrogen-phosphorus detector (NPD). The determination limit of the method is 40 pg/ml.
