	abstract = {Cell extraction and further sample preparation for nucleotide pool analysis using capillary electrophoresis was faster and simpler using volatile extraction solvents (e.g. organic solvents and de-ionized water) compared to the commonly applied acids dissolved in water (e.g. perchloric acid and trichloracetic acid). Temperature had to be controlled during the whole sample preparation process to prevent degradation, and extracts had to be cleaned from proteins and other large molecules prior to capillary electrophoretic analysis to improve reproducibility. Capillary electrophoresis using borate and cyclodextrins in the background electrolyte was used for determining 11 cellular nucleotides simultaneously. In order to optimize the assay, 0-100\% acetonitrile, 0-100\% ethanol, and 0-100\% methanol in de-ionized water were applied to extract nucleotides from mouse lymphoma cells, and nucleotide yields, recovery, and reproducibility were compared. The assay met the commonly accepted validation limits for biological fluids, if 20-80\% acetonitrile in water and 40-60\% ethanol in water were used as extraction solvents.

	abstract = {Velocity-difference induced focusing (V-DIF) of nucleotides was achieved by using a dynamic pH junction in capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV detection. The influence of specific analyte properties, such as nucleotide base structure, sugar structure, and degree of phosphorylation, is examined. The pK(a) values and berate complexation with vicinal diols are important factors that caused the focusing. Therefore, the pH and berate content in the sample and background electrolyte can be adjusted to optimize the focusing effect. This method allows the injection of large volumes of sample (similar to 300 nL), resulting in at least 50-fold improvement in concentration sensitivity. The detection limit of 4.0 x 10(-8) M for nucleotides can be achieved in favorable conditions. V-DIF can be also applied to nucleotide pool analysis from cell extracts to improve the concentration sensitivity of CE and to reduce the time-consuming steps of desalting and off-line preconcentration that are often required for assays of nucleotides from biological samples.},
