abstract：:In this paper we report the complete separation of amino acids as DABS-derivatives using a 3µm Supelcosil LC-18 (25 cm × 2.1 mm I.D.) narrowbore column. The system described makes it possible to perform the analysis of DABS-amino acids with a sensitivity to the femtomole level. We have also studied the conditions nece...
