Abstract

Many UV components in urine have been separated and identified in normal human urine using chromatography. More than 150 UV absorbing components have been separated by column Chromatographic methods including HPLC from human urine. However such methods require long analysis times up to a day, in the case of the highest resolution methods.1–2 Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) is a simple and rapid separation technique offering both high resolution and sensitivity.3–4
