摘要
An inexpensive pump is described for high pressure liquid chromatography which can be assembled from readily available parts. This pressurized tank type apparatus can be used with conventional liquid chromatography detectors, or with the spectrophotometers or fluorometers available in most laboratories. The system was applied to measurement of specific amino acids in rat brain tissue: taurine, .gamma.-aminobutyric acid and 5-hydroxytryptophan. The assays, which can measure less than 50 pmol, require only 3-7 min/sample and require no sample preparation other than precipitation of proteins. The apparatus can perform complex separations for analytical work, but its simplicity, high speed and ease of sample preparation make it also suitable for enzymatic and clinical studies.
