A portable fluorescence detection system for use with microchip electrophoresis was developed and compared to a benchtop system. Using this system, six neuroactive amines commonly found in brain dialysate—arginine, citrulline, taurine, histamine, glutamate, and aspartate—were derivatized offline with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde/cyanide, separated electrophoretically, and detected by fluorescence. Limits of detection for the analytes of interest were 50nM – 250nM for the benchtop system and 250 nM – 1.3 μM for the portable system, both of which were adequate for analyte determination in brain microdialysis samples. The portable system was then demonstrated for the detection of the same six amines in a rat brain microdialysis sample.
