In the present study, the use of gas chromatography (GC) for the determination of amino acids in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is described. Although some amino acids may be determined using a packed column following the removal of glucose, the major interfering component, the inadequate resolutio

Abstract
A microchip electrophoresis (MCE) method with LIF detection was presented for quantification of D‐aspartic acid (D‐Asp) and D‐glutamate (D‐Glu) in biological samples. D‐Asp and D‐Glu were determined after precolumn derivatization with FITC. The chiral separation was performed on a glass/PDMS hybrid microfluidic chip using γ‐CD as chiral selector in the running buffer. High sensitive detection was obtained by the LIF detection. The LODs (S/N = 3) for D‐Asp and D‐Glu were 6.0×10^–8^ and 4.0×10^–8^ M, respectively. Using this method, the levels of D‐Asp and D‐Glu in rat brain and human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were determined.
