β¦ Synopsis
A procedure is described in whicha wide borecapillarycolumn is used as an alternative to the more traditional packed column for the quantitative analysis of amino acids as their N-heptafluorobutyryl isobutyl ester (HBB) derivatives. Thecolumn, installed in a gas chromatograph previously configured for use with a packed column, is shown to give good reproducibility by repeated determination of amino acid response factors (RSD values for all amino acids are below 3%). A number of problems, encountered during the use of this column, are discussed and suitable techniques to overcome them are reported.

A capillary chromatographic procedure using a fused silica column is described which can be used to quantitatively determine amino acids in plasma following the pre-chromatographic "clean-up" described in a recent paper [l]. In substituting this procedure for that involving a packed column, advantag
