title: Advances in the detection of amino acids in biological fluids.
abstract: New methods and modifications of existing methods for the determination of amino acids in biological fluids are reviewed. The application of classical ion exhcange, gas chromatography, and combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry methodology in the clinical biochemistry laboratory are examined and the advantages and disadvantages are noted for these techniques.
