Fluorescent Components in Human Urine. Characterization by High Performance Liquid Chromatography With Fluorescence Detection (Hplc)

This study has characterized the fluorescent components of the human urine matrix using a unique HPLC-fluorescence detection system. The detection system provided characterization information based on the results returned by a reverse file-search of trapped chromatographic peak excitation and emission spectra searched against a fluorescence library containing 1230 spectra. The best candidates returned by the search offered structural suggestions for use in characterization of the unknown compound. Secondary instrumentation was used to verify the characterizations made by the fluorescence file-search system. However, the methods employed were not sensitive enough to provide any new information.
