Abstract

An LC postcolumn derivatization method for determination of polythiols has been developed. This method involves separation using reversed-phase LC, postcolumn derivatization with N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide, and excimer fluorescence detection. Analytes with a polythiol structure were converted into corresponding polypyrene-labeled derivatives, and the derivatives exhibited intramolecular excimer fluorescence (440 – 520 nm). In this study, dimercaprol and dithiothreitol were used as model polythiols. This polythiol analysis method is simple; it is also highly selective and sensitive and yields good calibration curves.
