The use of a cyanide ion-specific electrode in combination with the Conway microdiffusion method was modified for the measurement of cyanide concentration in human red blood cells and plasma. With our modified method, the optimal pH of cyanide isolation from red blood cells and plasma was investigated. Cyanide recovery from red blood cells increased with decreasing pH. The maximal recovery of 96.9 +/- 2.6% was obtained at a pH of less than 1. Cyanide recovery from plasma, however, peaked at a pH between 7 and 8, and further changes in pH reduced the recovery rate. The maximal recovery rate from plasma was 74.1 +/- 1.5%. In previous studies, cyanide isolations from both plasma and red blood cells were carried out at a pH of less than 1. This study shows that cyanide isolation from plasma should be performed at a pH between 7 and 8. |
