A sensitive and reproducible fully automated method for the determination of amino acids in plasma based on reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and o-phthaldialdehyde pre-column derivatization is described. A 5-μm Spherisorb ODS 2 column (125 × 3 mm I.D.) was selected for routine determination. Over 40 physiological amino acids could be determined within 49 min (injection to injection) and 48 samples could be processed unattended. The coefficients of variation for most amino acids in plasma were below 4%. We were also able to measure trace amounts of amino acids in plasma normally not detected in a routine analysis. The results obtained with the method described compared favourably with those of conventional amino acid analysis (r = 0.997) and were in excellent agreement with those of other laboratories (r = 0.999).
