We combined field-amplified stacking (FASS) and reversed-field stacking (RFS) in a multiple-concentration approach for microchip electrophoresis detection of three neurotransmitters in human urine.
Using this strategy, three neurotransmitters could be simultaneously focused and separated with high efficiency and sensitivity (LODs at S/N = 3 ranging from 1.69 to 2.73 nM).
The multiple-concentration strategy afforded approximately 182- to 292-fold improvements in detection sensitivity.
This strategy was successfully applied to three neurotransmitters in human urine.
