Volatile Determination

Specimens such as blood and lung tissue can be submitted for Volatile Analysis. Volatiles are substances that like alcohol boil at temperatures less than that of water. These substances include anesthetics (e.g. Nitrous Oxide), Refrigerants (e.g. Freons), solvents (e.g. toluene), petroleum distillates, adhesives, and even gases such as butane or propane.
