Separation of dopamine and epinephrine by a novel electrophoresis technique with nafion membrane as separation column

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

A novel electrophoresis technique, in which a strip of perflurosulfonic-acid (nafion 117) membrane was used to replace the conventional separation column and liquid buffer solution within, was developed and employed to separate the mixture of dopamine and epinephrine under a low separation voltage of 100 V with quadruple pulses amperometry detection. It was showed that the so-called Nafion membrane electrophoresis could be one of very simple and easy method and has the potentiality to be used to separate and analyze some small organic biologic molecules.
