N2 - A specific and simple method for the direct simultaneous detection of extracellular nitrite (NO
2
-) and nitrate (NO
3
-) has been developed, using high-performance liquid chromatography separation with UV and electrochemical detection in series. These stable endproducts of nitric oxide (NO·) were determined in dialysis perfusate obtained through in vivo brain microdialysis during and after experimental photoinduced cerebral ischemia in rats. The chromatographic conditions were optimized with a reversed-phase column (250X46 mm) using 10 mM n=octylamine pH 6.0 as a mobile phase. Absorbance was measured at 220 nm for NO
3
- detection; electrochemical detection was performed at +0.7 V for NO
2
- evaluation. This assay system holds the advantages of in vivo consecutive measurements, high precision, good reproducibility, technical simplicity, fast response (about 7 min), and wide availability.
