The accuracy and stability of caffeine and halothane concentrations in liquid Krebs medium were examined. Caffeine-Krebs Ringer's solution in incremental concentrations from 0.25 to 10 mM (N = 8 for each concentration) was serially assayed over a three-year period. Storage was at 4 degrees C. For serial testing of halothane during a five month period, halothane 1% or 3% in carbogen was bubbled through a Krebs solution, contained in muscle baths, either using a roller pump (to eliminate vaporizer back pressure) or using carbogen at a line pressure of 4-6 lbs/in2 (27-41 kPa). Halothane in Krebs was assayed by high pressure liquid chromatography. Caffeine concentrations did not vary for 20 weeks. From then, through 60 weeks, concentrations less than 2 mM steadily diminished; after that, through 156 weeks, only 4, 8, and 10 mM were stable. When compared to the halothane concentration in gas entering the muscle baths, halothane concentration in Krebs was predictable regardless of method delivery, as long as a gas analyzer indicated the proper concentration. We conclude that caffeine solutions are stable for 20 weeks when refrigerated, and for three years at concentrations 4 mM or greater. |
