Summary
The possibility of separation of the main catecholamines, serotonin and 3,4-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with UV detection has been investigated using phosphate and phosphate-borate buffers with sodium dodecylsulfate as electrolytes. The results demonstrate the applicability of MEKC-UV detection systems for biomedical analysis of catecholamines and serotonin. Detection limits in the 10−7 mol L−1 range could be achieved.
