In this study a novel, simple and rapid reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedure for simultaneous determination of vitamins A and E (retinol and alpha-tocopherol) in blood serum has been developed and validated using monolithic column and diode-array detection (DAD). The monolithic column Chromolith Performance RP-18e (100 mm x 4.6 mm) was operated at ambient temperature. One hundred percent methanol at flow rate 2.5 ml min(-1) was used as a mobile phase. Detection of both compounds was performed with diode-array detector, retinol was monitored at 325 nm and alpha-tocopherol at 295 nm. The linear dependence between peak area and concentration ranged from 0.25 to 10.00 micromol l(-1) for retinol and 0.5-50.0 micromol l(-1) for alpha-tocopherol. The limit of detection (LOD) for retinol was 0.02 micromol l(-1) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.07 micromol l(-1). The limit of detection (LOD) for alpha-tocopherol was 0.1 micromol l(-1) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.3 micromol l(-1). Retinol was eluted in 0.8 min and alpha-tocopherol in 1.4 min. The simultaneous analysis of vitamin A and E can be achieved in less than 2 min. The implementation of monolithic column Chromolith Performance shortens the time of analysis of both vitamins four times in comparison with using traditional particulate column Pecosphere C18 (150 mm x 4.6 mm), 5 microm. This fact may play an important role for routine clinical analysis of biological samples.
在本研究中,已开发并验证了一种新颖、简单且快速的反相高效液相色谱(HPLC)方法,用于同时测定血清中的维生素A和E(视黄醇和α-生育酚),该方法采用整体柱和二极管阵列检测(DAD)。整体柱Chromolith Performance RP - 18e(100 mm×4.6 mm)在室温下运行。以流速2.5 ml min⁻¹的100%甲醇作为流动相。两种化合物均用二极管阵列检测器进行检测,视黄醇在325 nm处监测,α-生育酚在295 nm处监测。视黄醇的峰面积与浓度之间的线性关系范围为0.25至10.00 μmol l⁻¹,α-生育酚为0.5 - 50.0 μmol l⁻¹。视黄醇的检测限(LOD)为0.02 μmol l⁻¹,定量限(LOQ)为0.07 μmol l⁻¹。α-生育酚的检测限(LOD)为0.1 μmol l⁻¹,定量限(LOQ)为0.3 μmol l⁻¹。视黄醇在0.8分钟内洗脱,α-生育酚在1.4分钟内洗脱。维生素A和E的同时分析可在不到2分钟内完成。与使用传统的5 μm粒径的Pecosphere C18(150 mm×4.6 mm)颗粒柱相比,整体柱Chromolith Performance的使用将两种维生素的分析时间缩短了四倍。这一事实可能在生物样品的常规临床分析中发挥重要作用。
