High performance liquid chromatographic determination of 1,5-anhydroglucitol in human plasma for diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
This paper describes a high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for determining 1,5-anhydroglucitol in plasma, in which anion exchange chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection are used. Plasma samples deproteinized with trichloroacetic acid are passed through a three-layer column packed with (1) strongly basic anion (BO3(3-) form, the upper layer), (2) strongly basic anion (OH- form, the middle layer) and (3) strongly acidic cation (H+ form, the lower layer) exchange resins. 1,5-Anhydroglucitol is efficiently recovered in the flow-through fraction and interfering substances are completely removed by the column treatment. The analytical response of the method is linear with concentration to 40 mg/L, and it is possible to detect as little as 0.1 mg 1,5-anhydroglucitol per litre of plasma. Analytical recovery is between 96 and 103%, and there is good agreement between the results measured by our method and by a gas/liquid chromatographic method (r = 0.998). The method has been successfully used for the determination of very low 1,5-anhydroglucitol concentrations (less than 1 mg/L) in the plasma of diabetic patients.[1]References
