Journal of chromatography, 613(2), 223-230 (1993-04-02)
A single-column gradient lithium ion-exchange chromatographic method with post-column derivatization and fluorimetric detection for the quantification of physiological amino acids is described. The method runs automatically, requires a minimum of sample preparation, separates all amino acids in plasma and cerebrospinal
