  • Title: In-capillary derivatization and capillary electrophoresis separation of amino acid neurotransmitters from brain microdialysis samples.
    Author: Denoroy L, Parrot S, Renaud L, Renaud B, Zimmer L.
    Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2008 Sep 26; 1205(1-2):144-9. PubMed ID: 18752800.
    Abstract:
    A new in-capillary derivatization method with naphtalene-2,3-dicarboxyaldehyde (NDA)/CN(-) has been developed for capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection of brain microdialysate amino acids. Samples are sandwiched between two plugs of reagent mixture at the capillary inlet and subsequently separated. Highest derivatization yields are obtained by using a reagent to sample plug length ratio equal to 4, performing a first electrophoretic mixing followed by a zero potential amplification step before applying the separation voltage and using a NaCN to NDA concentration ratio equal to 1. This new single-step methodology allows the analysis of amino acid neurotransmitters in rat brain microdialysis samples.
