Ion-exclusion/cation-exchange chromatographic determination of common inorganic ions in human saliva by using an eluent containing zwitterionic surfactant
Ion-exclusion/cation-exchange chromatography with an eluent containing the bile salt-type zwitterionic surfactant CHAPS was performed in order to evaluate variations in anion (SO 4 2−, NO 3 −, and SCN −) and cation (Na +, K +, NH 4 +, Mg 2+, and Ca 2+) concentrations in human saliva. CHAPS prevents...

Summary: | Ion-exclusion/cation-exchange chromatography with an eluent containing the bile salt-type zwitterionic surfactant CHAPS was performed in order to evaluate variations in anion (SO
4
2−, NO
3
−, and SCN
−) and cation (Na
+, K
+, NH
4
+, Mg
2+, and Ca
2+) concentrations in human saliva. CHAPS prevents the adsorption of proteins to the stationary phase, i.e., weakly acidic cation-exchange resin, since it aggregates proteins without denaturing them. Addition of 1
mM CHAPS to the eluent comprising 6
mM tartaric acid and 7
mM 18-crown-6 yielded reproducible separations of anions and cations in protein-containing saliva. The resolutions of anions and cations were not significantly affected by the addition of CHAPS to the eluent. The concentrations of Na
+ and K
+ varied before and after meals; or that of SCN
−, upon smoking. The relative standard deviations of peak areas ranged from 0.3 to 5.1% in 1 day (
n
=
20) and from 1.4 to 5.8% over 6 days (
n
=
6). |
