Determination of neurochemicals in biological fluids by using an automated high-performance liquid chromatographic system with a coulometric array detector

Abstract

The chromatographic separation of 33 neurochemicals was achieved by using a combined gradient of organic modifier, pH and counter-ion. A secondary separation of unresolved analytes was obtained by using electrochemical detection with a coulometric array of sixteen electrodes. The stability of the analytes was studied and data on analytical performance are reported in addition to a list of neurochemicals detected in a normal plasma sample.
