Summary
A novel method for the determination of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NGNA) has been developed using high-performance capillary electrophoresis with UV detection at 195 nm, without pre or post-column derivatisation. The acids were separated in a 50-cm, fused-silica capillary (50μ i.d, 45.5-cm effective length) with Na2B4O7−Na2HPO4 buffer. The detection limit for NANA is a concentration of 9.6×10−6 M or, in terms of mass:3.879×10−14 mol (39 fmol). This method is applicable to determination of NANA in normal human serum. The results were also compared with those of the colorimetrie method.
