An accurate and precise method to determine glucose concentration in whole blood is presented. The method, based on isotope dilution gas chromatographymass spectrometry (ID GC-MS), was developed to be used as a Reference Method for determining glucose concentration in capillary or venous whole blood. Blood samples and standards are pipetted manually with "microcap" micropipettes, which makes it possible to collect samples even at the patient's bedside. Glucose is quantified as its aldononitrile pentaacetate. [13C6]Glucose is used as an internal standard. Assay of Seronorm and Pathonorm L and H controls by ID GC-MS gave within-run CVs of 0.66%, 0.96%, and 0.92%, respectively. For whole blood with glucose concentrations in the low, normal, and high ranges, the within-run CVs were 1.27%, 0.91%, and 0.78%, respectively. The between-run CV for glucose calculated from 36 separate single analyses of Seronorm was 1.44%. In an accuracy assessment test of the HemoCue blood glucose analyzer, 140 capillary blood samples were measured in parallel after split-sampling. For all samples the HemoCue analyzer results had a mean bias of +2.0% compared with the ID GC-MS results.
