Various procedures of sample preparation of biological objects (urine and blood plasma),
including SPE with aluminum oxide and strong cation exchange sorbent were investigated. The efficiency
of catecholamines, metanephrines and 3,4-dihydrohyphenylalanine extraction was 90%. The capillary
zone electrophoresis with UV detection and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography with
amperometric detection were compared for catecholamines and metanephrines analysis in urine and blood
plasma.
