Abstract

Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate (TCPO)-hydrogen-peroxide-generated chemiluminescence (CL) of four dansyl amino acids has been used as a model system for the optimization of a detection system in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Dansylated alanine, glutamic acid, methionine, and norleucine were subjected to peroxyoxalate induced CL in a static system and in a flow system under various conditions with respect to TCPO (ethyl acetate) and hydrogen peroxide (acetone) concentrations, solvent composition and flow, using a two-pump or a one-pump post-column reagent system. From the CL-decay curve, the influence on the emission signal from the total flow rate in the detector was investigated. Special attention was focused on the mixing of the LC eluate and the reagent in order to combine an efficient collection of the emitted light using a 74 microliter flow cell (originally 10 microliters in the fluorescence detector) with minimal extra column band broadening. Therefore, a capillary fused-silica tubing of about 100 microns i.d. was inserted against the end-frit of the column and brought through a mixing tee, in which the solutions of TCPO and hydrogen peroxide were added. The column end tubing ended in the flow cell and the LC eluate and the reagents were mixed when entering the flow-cell. Average detection limits (S/N = 2) of 200 fmol injected dansylated amino acid could be reached. A comparison is made between the use of TCPO and DNPO (bis (2, 4-dinitrophenyl) oxalate).
