Abstract
Simultaneous determination of nitrite (NO 2 −), nitrate (NO 3 −), thiocyanate (SCN −) and uric acid in human saliva was performed by capillary zone electrophoresis using a coated capillary with reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF), using a 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 6.5 as a running buffer. Saliva samples were deproteinized with acetonitrile and filtered through a membrane filter. The important advantages of the reported method are: simple operation, short analysis time, minimal sample pre-treatment and sample dilution. In order to evaluate the daily variations of the anionic components, the concentrations were determined in the human saliva of four healthy volunteers upon waking and at 2 h intervals during a day.
