Micellar electrokinetic chromatography–electrospray ionization mass spectrometry employing a volatile surfactant for the analysis of amino acids in human urine

A new MEKC-ESI-MS method for the analysis of amino acids (AAs) in human urine was developed employing ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO) as volatile surfactant. The influence of APFO on the MS signal of AAs was evaluated by infusion experiments, which showed … Continue reading
