Separation of Urea, Uric Acid, Creatine, and Creatinine by
Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography with Sodium Cholate
Sheng-Lei Yan, Pei-Zung Lin, and Meen-Woon Hsiao
The capillary electrophoretic separation of the four nonprotein nitrogenous compounds (NPNs; urea, uric acid, creatine, and creatinine) typically employed in clinical and medical settings for the monitoring of renal function is described. Successful resolution of these compounds is achieved with the use of a bile salt micelle system composed of sodium cholate at phosphate buffer pH 7.4. The elution patterns of four NPNs are obtained within 30 min with a voltage of 30 kV. The effect of varying the applied voltage, temperature, and the mole ratio of phosphate buffer with bile salt surfactant on the migration behavior is also examined.
