title: Amperometric detection of reducing carbohydrates in high-performance liquid chromatography using an amino-bonded column and acetonitrile-water as the eluent.
abstract: Amperometric detection of reducing carbohydrates using copper bis(phenanthroline) as the mediator in the post-column reaction was applied to the partition mode of high-performance liquid chromatography using an amino-bonded column with acetonitrile-water as the eluent. The proposed method appears to be the most sensitive means of detection in the partition separation of carbohydrates. Glucose can be determined at levels down to 5 pmol (1 ng injection). Excellent selectivity was demonstrated in examples of chromatograms obtained with fruit juices and human urine.
