Determination of dehydroascorbic acid in biological samples most commonly involves indirect measurement, The concentration is calculated by subtraction of the measured ascorbic acid concentration from that of total ascorbic acid analyzed after reduction of the dehydroascorbic acid present; a methodology also referred to as subtraction methods. Consequently, successful determination of dehydroascorbic acid is dependent on proper sample handling, quantitative reduction of the compound, and accurate quantification of both ascorbic acid and total ascorbic acid. In this paper, the recently introduced reductant tris[2-carboxyethyl]phosphine (TCEP) is evaluated as a reliable alternative to the commonly used reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT), The results show that TCEP offers a more efficient reduction of dehydroascorbic acid at low pH compared to that of DTT, Moreover, while DTT maintains a reducing sample environment for less than 24 h, TCEP show complete protection from oxidation of ascorbic acid for at least 96 h following sample preparation, Removal of TCEP prior to analysis is unnecessary. A revised HPLC-EC method incorporating TCEP as reductant as well as the co-analysis of isoascorbic acid and uric acid is presented. The within- and between-day coefficients of variation for the complete assay are less than 1.5 and 3.5% for all analytes, As a whole, the method presented here is simpler and more reliable than existing methods.
