Abstract
The performance of a fluorescence detector in capillary electrophoresis (CE) using a light‐emitting diode (LED) as excitation source is reported. An ultraviolet LED pulsed at a repetition rate of 500 Hz, combined with a time‐discrimination and averaging acquisition system, was used. Limits of detection of 3 and 18 fmoles (at a signal‐to‐noise ratio equal to 3) were achieved for fluorescamine‐derivatized bradykinin and lysine, respectively. This system exhibited a linear response for a concentration range between 54 and 417 νM for derivatized lysine, and between 1.81 and 23.58 νM for derivatized bradykinin. This detection system showed to be very convenient for routine analytical applications.Keywords
