Fluorometric liquid-chromatographic determination of serum cortisol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a sensitive and specific liquid-chromatographic assay for serum cortisol, exploiting acid-induced fluorescence. Each analysis requires only 50 microL of serum, and chromatography is complete in 7 min. Analytical recovery of cortisol added to serum ranged from 90 to 105% and between-run precision (CV) from 6 to 8%. The lower limit of detection for cortisol is 10 micrograms/L, and linearity extends to 1600 micrograms/L. Numerous steroids and drugs tested did not interfere.

Evaluation of a direct fluorometric method for determination of serum retinol.
We evaluated the usefulness of a fluorometric method for determining serum retinol (Futterman et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1975;14:125-30) in which fluorescence (excitation 335 nm; emission 460 nm) of retinol is directly measured in unextracted, diluted serum. Using serum from 466 individual donors, we compared values so obtained with those by a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic me...

A simple, rapid and sensitive HPLC method for the determination of theophylline (T) in human serum has been developed. An isocratic system consisting of a /-l Bondapak C18 column, mobile phase of methanol, phosphate buffer (22:78, pH=4.5), and a flow rate of 1.4 mL/min was used. The eluent was detected by UV at 275 nm at room temperature. 8-Chlorotheophylline (8-CT) was used as an internal ...
متن کاملHigh Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Inactive Carboxylic Acid Metabolite of Clopidogrel in Human Serum: Application to a Bioequivalence Study
A sensitive and rapid method is described for determination of clopidogrel carboxylic acid (CCA), the inactive metabolite of the antiplatelet agent clopidogrel in human serum. The analytical procedure involves liquid-liquid extraction of the analyte and an internal standard (phenytoin) with ethyl acetate. A mobile phase consisting of 0.05 M phosphate buffer containing triethylamine (0.5...
متن کاملDetermination of serum cortisol by isotope-dilution liquid-chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry with on-line extraction.
A liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for the determination of cortisol in serum using atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry is described. During sample preparation, 150 microl of serum were deproteinized with methanol/zinc sulfate followed by on-line solid phase extraction employing column switching. Tri-deuterated cortisol was used as the inter...

We have investigated the specificity of the fluorometric method we proposed [C/in. Chem. 19, 710 (1973)] for plasma or serum li-hydroxycorticosteroid determinations. The principal specific fluorogenic contaminants in the cortisol-containing extract of plasma, as detected by thin-layer chromatography and chemically, were triglycerides and total cholesterol. These contaminants contributed an aver...
