Popis: Organic anions accumulated in blood serum of patients with chronic renal failure were separated by a novel technique: closed-system capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in a pH6 carrier-electrolyte system. Hippuric acid (HA), p-hydroxyhippuric acid, and uric acid were identified by their co-elution with standards prepared in ultrafiltered normal serum and by comparison with the corresponding ultraviolet-detected peaks positively identified in the HPLC analyses. Analysis time for the entire profile is 8 min. Repeatabilities (CVs) of CZE migration times and peak areas of the three acids in serum samples were about 0.7% and 6%, respectively. We quantified HA in 10 ultrafiltered uremic serum samples and compared results with those by a previously described HPLC procedure. The very good agreement further supports the identification of hippuric acid. Accuracy and precision of the CZE method were similar to those for the HPLC gradient-elution method, but analysis time for HA (8 min) is much less than by HPLC (90 min). Our technique is very suitable for selective, rapid analysis for (ultraviolet-absorbing) anionic constituents in ultrafiltered uremic serum, without any sample pretreatment.
