摘要
A rapid, isocratic high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is described for the determination of total homocysteine levels in human serum. Prior to reversed-phase HPLC analysis, the serum thiols were derivatized with SBD-F (ammonium 7-fluorobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-4-sulphonate), a thiol-specific fluorogenic probe which is commercially available. Retention of SBD-homocysteine was sensitive to pH, and a mobile phase pH of 2.1 ensured baseline separation of serum thiols within 6 min. The method is simple, sensitive, reproducible (between-run coefficient of variation of 6.6%) and very suitable for routine determination of serum homocysteine levels in a clinical pathology laboratory.
