The relatively new technique of microdialysis provides new possibilities for investigating in vivo the functioning of the sympathetic nervous system. The small sample volumes obtained, however, are a great challenge for analytical chemists. We report here a HPLC method for measuring in one run both natural and synthetic catecholamines [dopamine, (nor)epinephrine, alpha-methylnorepinephrine, isoproterenol and epinine] and the intraneuronal metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol in small microdialysis samples after derivatization with the fluorogenic agent 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine. No prior clean-up step is necessary. N-Ethylmaleimide is necessary for preventing an inhibitory action on derivatization occurring in in vivo microdialysis samples. The method can handle large numbers of samples, is sensitive (on-column detection limits 30 to 200 fg) and reproducible (RSD 1 to 7%). Recovery characteristics of the commercial microdialysis probe used (CMA/20) were extensively investigated both in vitro and in vivo at various perfusion rates; for practical purposes a rate of 2 microl/min and sampling at 10-min intervals was found to be workable and to give good and reproducible recoveries (50 to 70%).
