In previous papers, we described the analysis of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) and catecholamines in microdialysis samples using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIFD). In the present paper, we report that an automated analysis of such samples can be easily achieved by on-line coupling of the microdialysis probe with a continuous flow derivatization system and a commercially available CE-LIFD apparatus. Because of the short analysis time (less than 2 min) and high separation efficiency (100-200,000 theoretical plates), high temporal resolution of microdialysis (minute range) is preserved as compared to off-line systems, while both EAAs and O-phosphoethanolamine (PEA) can be simultaneously detected. This new method has been applied to the measurement of these compounds in microdialysis samples from hippocampal slice cultures and striatum of anesthetized rats. Extracellular concentrations of EAAs, but not PEA, increased during perfusion of a solution containing high K+ or a glutamate uptake inhibitor. However, after in vitro ischemia on hippocampal slices, both EAAs and PEA concentrations increased, but with different temporal patterns.
