Abstract: | A commercial micro amino acid analyzer using capillary columns (internal diameter 0.7 mm) had to be modified greatly in order to get satisfactory separation and quantitative analysis on the microscale of free amino acids in biological fluids, tissue extracts, and hydrolysates. Furthermore, the usual analytical conditions were changed (i.e., lowering of the buffer pH) and a procedure and apparatus for sample deproteinization is described which allows simple handling of volumes in the range from 20 to 100 μl. The modifications described guarantee better and more reproducible analyses than reported so far. A design of a new “analytical unit” for capillary column chromatography is proposed. |
