摘要
A microcolumn liquid chromatographic method for the determination of norepinephrine and epinephrine in single bovine adrenomedullary cells is described. A single cell is isolated from a culture plate, (3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)amine is added as an internal standard, and the cell is lysed with perchloric acid. After centrifugation, the supernatant is injected directly into a 42 or 50-mu-m inner diameter C18 reversed-phase column operated with electrochemical detection. Detection limits for norepinephrine and epinephrine were 46 and 75 amol, respectively. Of the 22 cells examined, 8 contained predominantly norepinephrine, 10 contained predominantly epinephrine, and at least 4 cells contained significant amounts of each. On average, a single cell contained approximately 150 fmol of catecholamine.
