[Microassay of epsilon-aminocaproic acid by liquid chromatography]

A method for the analysis of epsilon aminocaproic acid in plasma or serum has been developed. This report describes a simple and rapid assay with a small sample (20 microliter) by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The supernatant is derivatized with fluorescamine after acetonitrile deproteinisation. Linearity, sensibility and accuracy are good. Save time extraction allows quick determination of many samples.
