RESUMO
Disposable reversed-phase chromatography columns were tested for their effectiveness in removing unreacted trichloroethanol (TCE) from derivatized samples for gas-liquid chromatography analysis. Derivatized acidic chloroform extracts of saponified whole cells of Mycobacterium species, spent culture media, and derivatized acidic chloroform extracts of serum and cerebrospinal fluids from patients with tuberculous meningitis were tested. Samples were added to preconditioned reversed-phase chromatography columns, and various solvents and solvent mixtures were tested to determine maximum recovery of the TCE derivatives. With this procedure, we were able to quickly remove the TCE reagent and efficiently recover TCE-derivatized carboxylic acids. Use of these columns improved the reagent cleanup procedure, simplified the derivatization step, permitted increased detection of trace components, such as tuberculostearic acid, in body fluids, and improved the selectivity of the procedure for detection of carboxylic acids.
