title: Determination by capillary zone electrophoresis of berenil, phenamidine, diampron and dibromopropamidine in serum and urine.
abstract: A quick, simple and reliable analysis method has been developed in order to determine berenil, phenamidine, diampron and dibromopropamidine by capillary zone electrophoresis in samples of serum and urine. In order to define the operation parameters in CZE, we have carried out a study on how the apparent electrophoretic mobility (mu(app)) varies when pH, buffer concentration, voltage and temperature are modified. Ohm's law plot has been studied, too. With the data obtained from this study we have determined the optimum work conditions, which are: citrate buffer 25 mM, pH=3.70, 14 kV, 30 degrees C, wavelength of the UV detector: 200 nm, capillary tube: 570 mm x 75 microm. Under these conditions, all the products appear in times between: 7.6 min phenamidine and 8.8 min dibromopropamidine, limits of detection being: berenil: 0.50, phenamidine: 0.25, diampron: 0.40 and dibromopropamidine: 0.80 microg ml(-1). We have carried out a recovery study with three kinds of extraction cartridges: Sep-pak C-18 plus, Sep-pak C-8 plus and Oasis HBL for each one of the products in blood and urine.
