A simple and accurate gas chromatographic method for the in vitro estimation of mevalonic acid (as mevalonolactone) was developed. The method showed good sensitivity, accuracy and linearity over a wide concentration range. Detection at lower concentrations without the use of any radioactivity measurements, and more rapid analysis than other existing methods, are the advantages of this modified method.
