We compared results for the liquid-chromatographic determination of free norepinephrine and epinephrine in urine after purifying the catechols by the following methods: (a) acid-washed alumina, (b) weak cation-exchange resin (WCX), (c) a combination of weak cation-exchange resin followed by alumina (WCX-alumina), and (d) commercially available phenylboronic acid adsorbent. We evaluated analytic...
