摘要:
A method for examining Alzheimer's disease comprising (1) the measurement step of measuring an amount of lidocaine or a metabolite thereof in a cerebrospinal fluid derived from a lidocaine-administered test subject, and (2) the determination step of determining whether the test subject has Alzheimer's disease or not on the basis of the measured amount.

An object of the present invention is to quantitate with good accuracy, furthermore, quantitate absolutely, one or a plurality of biological molecules in a sample such as a tissue, a biological fluid, a cell, a cell organ or protein complex.By adding a metabolically isotope labeled biological molecule as an internal standard substance and measuring with a mass spectrometer, quantitating with good accuracy one or a plurality of target molecules in a sample has become possible. In addition, by performing waveform separation processing during mass analysis, a highly accurate quantitative analysis method of mass analysis is provided.
摘要:
A packing for chromatography whereby a low molecular weight substance contained in biological samples can be analyzed directly at a high accuracy without any pretreatments. This packing is combining a protein such as avidin and ovomucoid to the support via a straight or branched spacer optionally having a functional group such as a cyano group. Enantiomers interact differentially with proteins, and thereby optically separated. Further, a purification column packed with said packing is disclosed.According to the present invention, a low molecular weight substance can be directly and accurately analyzed without requiring any pretreatment for removing biological macromolecules. When it is employed in the purification column, the time required for the pretreatment can be shortened.

摘要:
The components present in the sample with a mobile phase A in 1st section is separated. In 2nd section there is provided with an inserting line of a dilute solution for diluting the mobile phase A and a trapping column which forces the dilute solution to pass but catches the components by connecting said line to said column. In 3rd section, the components caught by the trapping column are introduced into mass spectrometer by using a mobile phase B. It is preferable to use respectively different mobile phases for the mobile phase A and the mobile phase B. It is good to install separating columns in 1st and 3rd sections. It is also desired to add the retaining apparatus of the components separated in 1st section.
