Catecholamines in Urine | On-Line Analysis
Complete Kit, Order No. 2100

 

This test is designed as a fast (injection interval: 9.5 min) and fully automated method for the analysis of urinary catecholamines. A manual sample preparation is not required, but is performed „on-line“ within the HPLC system.

Alternatively to this method with manual sample preparation, RECIPE offers ClinRep® complete kits for the use with automatic pipetting systems from RECIPE (order nos. 2400-2500) and GILSON (order nos. 2200-2300).

 
  • Fully automatic method with on-line sample preparation

  • Robust chromatography with fluorescence detection

  • Injection interval: 20 min
