  • Title: Rapid estimation of catecholamines, octopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in biological tissues using high-performance liquid chromatography with coulometric detection.

    Journal: J Chromatogr; 1983 Dec 09; 278(2):265-74. PubMed ID: 6421859.
    Abstract:
    A rapid, convenient procedure is described for the simultaneous determination of catecholamines, monohydroxyphenolamines and 5-hydroxytryptamine in biological tissues. The procedure involves homogenization of tissue in perchloric acid, addition of heparin and centrifugation followed by direct injection of the supernatant onto a C18 reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic column. The mobile phase employed sodium dodecyl sulfate as ion pair reagent with 20% acetonitrile and 10-12% methanol as organic modifier. Eluted fractions were detected electrochemically using dual coulometric electrodes operated in screen mode. The procedure has been applied to the analysis of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, octopamine, tyramine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and tryptophan in a variety of tissues including mammalian heart and brain and insect nerve cord.
