## Abstract This assay measures picogram quantities of catechol drugs and endogenous catecholamines in body tissues and fluids. The catechols are converted to their ^3^H‐O‐methyl metabolites during incubation with ^3^H‐S‐adenosylmethionine and the enzyme catechol‐O‐methyltransferase. The radiolabel
## Fluorimetric differential assay of catecholamines yields correct values only if E/NE ratio is between l/5 to 1. In other cases, results are misleading, and an accurate estimation of each amine has to be done with specific methods based on a difference of oxidation pH or of stabilizing final mix
We report a new, rapid, and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the regional catecholamine determination in tissues. Deproteinized specimens are directly injected onto the double column (the top anion-exchange column; CDR-20, and the bottom cation-exchange column; Zipax-SCX)
