Estrogen determination using liquid chromatography with precolumn fluorescence labeling.

A liquid chromatography procedure is described for the determination of some estrogens using fluorescence detection. The estrogens are labeled by precolumn derivatization with 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonylchloride (dansyl chloride) and chromatographed on a reversed-phase, C-18 column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol, water, and acetic acid. The eluted analytes are measured with a fluorescence detector using excitation and emission wavelengths of 350 and 540 nm, respectively. The chief advantage of this new procedure is its sensitivity, requiring smaller amounts of sample to detect and quantitate estrogens in biological materials. We could detect less than 400 pg of estriol. With our procedure, this corresponded to about 25 ng in the final reaction mixture, before derivatization. The use of smaller sample volumes could improve this limit. Linearity for dansylated estriol, estrone, and estradiol was excellent over the estrogen range below 100 micrograms in the sample. This corresponds to approximately 1.7 micrograms on the column. Within-run precision was better than 5% for the full extraction and derivatization procedure for estriol from pregnancy urine samples. Chromatography is complete within 10 min for dansylated estriol, estrone, and estradiol.
