Wall-jet/thin-layer amperometric electrochemical detection (ECD) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used here for the simultaneous analysis of dopamine (DA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) at a glassy carbon electrode. Compared with the conventional thin-layer mode and wall-jet mode, the presented wall-jet/thin-layer ECD has the advantages of enhanced capture of electroactive DA and HVA on the working electrode to give enhanced responses and more convenient washing/refreshment of the working electrode surface. Under optimized conditions, the HPLC-ECD calibration curves show good linearity from 0.01 to 100 mM for DA and HVA, and the limits of detection (LODs) obtained were 1.1 nM for DA and 0.7 nM for HVA which are lower than those obtained with an UV-vis detector and a commercial electrochemical detector. The method was tested on human urine with satisfactory results. The balance of response-signal, signal-background and noise level for our HPLC-ECD system is also discussed. In addition, a demethylation electrooxidation mechanism for HVA is suggested through potentiostatic bulk electrolysis, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, fluorescent spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry studies.
