Simultaneous Chromatographic Separation and Infra-red Sample Preparation of Indole Acids

Abstract

IN attempting to identify trace amounts of metabolites from biological fluids, the use of one of the most powerful tools of organic chemical analysis, infra-red spectroscopy, presents technical difficulties. The two major ones are: (a) a sample preparation technique for the characteristically polar compounds, and (b) sufficient purity to allow a resolvable spectrum.
