title: Micellar electrokinetic chromatography of hydroxyproline and other secondary amino acids in biological samples with laser-induced fluorescence detection.
abstract: Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was used for the rapid and sensitive detection of hydroxyproline in serum and hydrolyzed urine that were pre-column derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC). The application of the combined o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)/FMOC derivatization in MEKC for the selective detection of secondary amino acids in biological samples is investigated.
