Abstract:
A simple method for separation of different anionic and zwitterionic phospholipid classes by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), using indirect UV detection with adenosine monophosphate (AMP) as background electrolyte and the UV-absorbing additive, was successfully developed in this study. The separation conditions including apparent pH (pH*) of running buffer, concentration of AMP, organic solvent, applied voltage and capillary temperature were systematically optimized. The application of this method to human blood sample was also briefly examined.
