We investigated the new solid-phase microextraction method by high-performance
liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection for the analysis of
biogenic amines. The Carbowax-Templated Resin 50 microm (purple) fibre coating
offers good performances for dopamine and serotonin separation, i.e., good
selectivity and high sensibility (0.1 microg l(-1)). We also tested this fibre
for biogenic amines quantification of rat striatum. The coating seems to be
selective towards the amines and has low affinity for the metabolites, allowing
a good separation and preventing drawbacks from the biological matrix. These
first results obtained using this original separation method offer large
perspectives of application to many biological samples.
