OBJECTIVES: An HPLC method was developed to quantify serum concentrations of phenylalanine and tyrosine simultaneously using fluorescence detection without derivatization. METHODS: Serum protein is precipitated with trichloroacetic acid, 0.015mM dihydrogen-phosphate solution is used for separation on reversed-phase C18 material, and acetonitrile is avoided. Both amino acids are monitored utilizing their natural fluorescence at 210nm excitation and 302nm emission wavelengths. RESULTS: One analytical run is completed within 7min. Lower detection limit for Phe and Tyr is 0.3μM. Comparison of the new method with a classical HPLC method for total amino acids and using UV-absorption detection reveals a highly significant relationship for Phe and Tyr. CONCLUSION: The new HPLC method allows rapid and very sensitive measurement of phenylalanine and tyrosine concentrations.
