Abstract
We have developed an interface that allows the specific detection of nitrog en-containing compounds by using a chemiluminescence nitrogen detector. The feasibility of using this interface was demonstrated by separating and det ecting two nitrogen-containing compounds, p-aminosalicylic acid and L-pheny lalanine, Although baseline separation was achieved. the theoretical plates were lower when compared to UV detection (25 000 vs. similar to 85 000). A sensitivity of 75 ng (similar to 500 pmol) per injection was achieved with this system which is adequate for pharmaceutical and biotech applications. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
