A rapid method was developed to identify and quantify the azide ion (N3–) in gastric fluid and urine. N3–in diluted biological fluids was reacted with NaAuCl4to produce Au(N3)2–, which was extracted with octanol. Five microliters of the extract were flow-injected into an electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric instrument. Quantification of N3–was performed by selected reaction monitoring of the product ion Au(N)(N3)–atm/z253, which was derived from the precursor ion Au(N3)2–atm/z281, using 50 μL of aqueous solution within 10 min. This method was found to be linear up to 10–5M, to have a limit of quantification of 10–7M, a limit of detection of 3.0 × 10–8M, and a coefficient of variation of ≦10% at 10–7M. In the case of urine, 50 μL of urine were spiked with N3–, this was diluted 10-fold and passed through 1 mL of a resin, and finally diluted to 100-fold of the original. This method was linear up to 10–3M, had a limit of quantification of 10–5M, a limit of detection of 3.0 × 10–6M, and coefficient of variation of ≦8.8% for an original urine concentration of 10–5M. The practical applicability of this method was checked by diluting 1 μL of a suspected suicide victim’s gastric fluid 20,000-fold and 1 μL of the victim’s urine 5,000-fold and then measuring the N3–levels. These levels were found to be (7.5 ± 1.0) × 10–2M and (3.2 ± 0.4) × 10–3M, respectively.FigureThe product ions were observed atm/z253, 225 and 42 for azide but that was observed only atm/z42 for OCN.
