    Abstract:
    A simple method for the simultaneous analysis of normetanephrine, metanephrine and 3-methoxytyramine (both free and conjugated) in human urine by reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection has been developed. Existing methods have been optimized for extraction by study of analytical parameters. The hydrolysed urines are purified and concentrated by successive passages on two ion-exchange resins and ammoniacal elution to eliminate interference from pigments or related chemical compounds. The methoxyamines are separated by high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column. Detection and quantitation are achieved with an electrochemical detector using a vitreous carbon electrode. Samples can be injected at 25-min intervals. Reference values of adults and children are given.
