ACCELERATED AMINO ACID ANALYSIS USING HPLC WITH POST-COLUMN DERIVATIZATION Maria Ofitserova, Ph.D., Wendy Rasmussen, Michael Pickering, Ph.D. CATALYST FOR SUCCESS BACKGROUND METHODS The traditional, and to date most accurate, method of detecting Each chromatogram was performed using a Linear Citrate-Buffer free amino acids in solution is the use of ion-exchange separation Gradient (Lithium Citrate for Physiologic samples, Sodium Cit- followed by post-column derivatization with Ninhydrin. No other rate for Hydrolysate samples) along with a Column Temperature technique has been shown to match the reproducibility of the Gradient to effect the elution. The derivatization of the amino analysis from simple solutions to the most challenging matrices. acids was performed using Post-Column Derivatization with Trione® Ninhydrin Reagent at 130° C and with a reactor volume Nevertheless, with run times of typically 1-2hrs, this method of 0.5ml. can be very time-consuming in terms of laboratory throughput. While the sample preparation is very and the instrumentation All chromatograms were generated using an HPLC pump, au- relatively simple for the analyst, the long turn around time in tosampler, Pickering Pinnacle PCX todays busy laboratory environment can be viewed as a disadvan- post-column derivatization instrument, and HPLC UV/Vis tage.

Our method utilizes a combination of temperature and eluant gradi- ents followed by post-column derivatization. Lithium Amino Acids (typically Physiologic Fluids) can be ana- lyzed in 88 minutes inject-to-inject and Sodium Amino Acids (typically Protein Hydrolysates) can be analyzed in 39 minutes inject-to-inject.
