Improved methods to measure 2H:1H and 18O:16O isotope ratios on microliter samples of biological fluids are described. Enriched levels of 2H (580.permill.) and 18O (256.permill.) in urine, plasma, saliva, and human milk can be measured with a precision of 3.2.permill. (n=200) and 0.97.permill. (n=200) and an accuracy of -4.6 .+-. 4.4.permill. (mean .+-. SD, n=200) and -0.32 .+-. 0.87.permill. (mean .+-. SD, n=200), respectively. Hydrogen gas samples are generated from 10 .mu.L of undistilled fluid by zinc reduction in quartz reaction vessels. Water-CO2 equilibration of a 100-.mu.L sample for 18O measurement is completed in 10 h using a modified commercial equilibration system. These methodological improvements facilitate and extend the use of 2H and 18O tracers in studies of body composition and energy expenditure.
