G. Alemany et al., Thin-layer chromatographic determination of catecholamines, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and their metabolites in biological samples: A review, J AOAC INT, 82(1), 1999, pp. 17-24
A review of methodology for separation, detection, and quantitative determi
nation of catecholamines, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and their acidic metabolites
in biological tissue and fluids by thin-layer chromatography is presented.
Selected procedures, including fluorometric scanning densitometry for cate
cholamine acetyl derivatives and color scanning densitometry for acids, are
described.
