## Abstract A simple, reliable and highly sensitive procedure was devised for measuring the levels of Amicar in blood and urine. 100 μL of serum or urine sample was added to 10 μL of a 10% w/v zinc sulfate solution and 100 μL of methanol, as previously described (Lam __et al.__, 1980) for the remov

Abstract
Phanquinone (4,7‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐dione) has been investigated as a pre‐column derivatization fluorogenic reagent for liquid chromatographic determination of primary amino acids in biological samples. The derivatization reaction was carried out at 68°C both in the presence of aqueous phosphate buffer (pH 8) for 30 min and without buffer for 60 min to allow the determination of basic amino acids (Orn, Lys, Arg). The resulting derivatives were separated under reversed‐phase HPLC and detected at λ~em~ = 460 nm with λ~ex~ = 400 nm. The proposed method was validated and applied to the determination of a variety of amino acids directly in urine and after deproteinization with 5‐sulfosalicylic acid in plasma samples. The detection and quantitation limits were found in the range 10–450 and 35–1400 fmol, respectively__.__ Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
