We have developed a new technique to determine the concentration of hypoxanthine [Hx] in a reverse phase column using a modified high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method that is faster and more reliable than those previously described. In this paper we present a formula for estimating the post mortem interval (PMI) based on this HPLC method by applying the inverse prediction method. The regression line obtained by changing the variables gives PMI=0.183[Hx]+0.599 (PMI in hours, [Hx] in µmol/L, R2-0.531, P-0.05).

Key Words: HPLC • hypoxanthine • post mortem interval • regression line • vitreous humour
