A TLC method for the quantitative determination of epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine in rat plasma is described. After deprotenization, catecholamines were adsorbed on acid-alumina and acetylated. The acetyl derivatives were extracted using a C18 minicolumn, resolved on HPTLC plates and quantitated by fluorescence densitometry at 415 nm, using isoprenaline as internal standard.
