title: Determination of hydroxyproline by high pressure liquid chromatography.
abstract: A rapid, precise, and simple HPLC method provides an assay of hydroxyproline from tissue extracts or solutions of collagen. Samples are hydrolyzed with 6 N HCl, derivatized with phenyl isothiocyanate, and chromatographed on a small, C18 reverse-phase HPLC column. Hydroxyproline (Hyp) is separated from other amino acids and detected by absorption at 254 nm. The method detects 0.40 to 36 micrograms of Hyp with a linear response. Separation requires a total of 6 min, including column cleanup and reequilibration. All components are commercially available, making this a convenient method for routine measurement of collagen concentration.
