Abstract
The effects of pH, ionic strength, organic modifier, heptanesulphonic acid and citric acid content of a high-performance liquid chromatography mobile phase on the chromatographic and electrochemical behaviour of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxybenzylamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylene glycol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in a reversed-phase system have been systematically studied. Optimal mobile phase conditions have been derived allowing the separation and reductive-mode detection of these compounds, applicable to both alumina and ion-paired solvent extracts of plasma. It is demonstrated that mobile phase composition significantly affects the sensitivity of a triple-electrode electrochemical detection system, in reductive and oxidative modes, and that electrochemical pre-treatment of mobile phase is required to attain maximum detector sensitivity in the reductive mode.
