This report examines the RP-HPLC separation of o-phthalaldehyde derivatives of amino acids, amino sugars, and amino sugar alcohols using either 2-mercaptoethanol or 3-mercaptopropionic acid. A method with pmol sensitivity for the analysis of N-acetylamino sugars of glycoconjugates was elaborated. Up

The investigation of the stabilities of o-phthalaldehyde/2-mercaptoethanol derivatives of amino acids using a precolumn reaction technique and a high-pressure liquid chromatographic procedure is reported. The amino acid derivatives are shown to be stable on the high-pressure liquid chromatography co
## Abstract For the determination of free amino acids in plasma, the conditions for precolumn derivatization of the amino acids and the chromatographic separation were examined. The isoindole products, formed by the reaction of the primary amino acids with orthophthalaldehyde (OPA), were readily se
The fluorimetric determination of secondary amines based on conversion with sodium hypochlorite to primary amines and the o-phthalaldehyde-mercaptoethanol (OPA) reagent is discussed. Interferences by excess of hypochlorite (e.g., oxidation of OPA or conversion of primary amines to chloramines) were
