Popis: This paper presents a systematic approach to determine the optimal reaction conditions, with respect to accuracy and sensitivity, of the quantitative determination of primary amino acids in a single run, using o -phthalaldehyde-2-mercaptoethanol derivatization. To this end an experiment was designed in which the effects of reaction time, concentration of 2-mercaptoethanol and type of solvent were determined simultaneously. The response of all parameters tested was found to be interrelated: the effect of a change in one reaction condition also depended on the other reaction conditions. The reaction conditions determined in this research resulted in an accuracy better than 0.25 μM , an average reproducibility of 0.6% and an average sensitivity of 136 fmol.
