Title: Field-amplified sample injection and in-capillary derivatization for sensitivity improvement of the electrophoretic determination of histamine. Author: Zhang LY, Sun MX. Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2005 Dec 30; 1100(2):230-5. PubMed ID: 16212971. Abstract: The feasibility of the combination of field-amplified sample injection (FASI) and in-capillary derivatization was explored for improving sensitivity of histamine in capillary electrophoresis (CE). Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) was used as derivatization reagent. The reagent and sample was introduced by tandem mode. The derivatization was accomplished by at-inlet mode with standing time of 1.5 min. The combination of FASI and in-capillary derivatization was successfully achieved with about 400-fold concentration sensitivity enhancement compared to pre-capillary derivatization at the same set-up. The detection limit of concentration for histamine reached 1.25 x 10(-11) M by CE and fluorescence detection with S/N = 3. Parameters affecting FASI and in-capillary derivatization process including sample matrix, buffer concentration and reagent injection amount, were investigated.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
