Trichloroacetic acid, perchloric acid, phosphotungstic acid, acetonitrile, methanol and some other organic solvents were evaluated for their ability to provide protein and lipid-free plasma supernatants. The residual proteins, total cholesterol and triacylglycerols were assayed in the supernatant on a Beckman Analyzer. The free cholesterol and the neutral lipids were further analyzed by means of high-temperature GC analysis. The conditions for the deproteinizing step were optimized for minimal lipoprotein disruption. Three plasma sulfur and aromatic amino acids were used as model compounds to evaluate compatibility of the precipitation methods with a subsequent methyl chloroformate-mediated derivatization and GC–MS analysis. The results of the total homocysteine assay matched well with that obtained using a commercial immunoassay. Precipitation with trichloroacetic acid has proven to be a method of choice for the analysis of the acido-basic analytes by GC–MS via chloroformates.
