[Advances in catecholamine analysis in biological samples].
Catecholamines are important neurotransmitters in human organism. Catecholamine levels in plasma and urine are utilized to diagnose hypertension, pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. This review reports different analytical methods for catecholamines, such as high performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometric detection, electrochemical detection, chemiluminescence detection and fluorescence detection.
