A method for determination of the drug diclofenac sodium introduced into in
dividual human erythrocytes by electroporation using capillary zone electro
phoresis with electrochemical detection at a carbon fiber array microelectr
ode was developed. In this method, the whole cell was injected into the sep
aration capillary by electromigration. Cell lysis was accomplished by injec
ting a plug of the separation buffer (1.25 x 10(-2) mol/L Na2B4O7-3.13 x 10
(-3) mol/L NaOH). The optimum conditions of separation and detection were 2
0 kV for the separation voltage and 1.0 V for the detection potential. The
concentration of diclofenac sodium in the single cells was quantified by a
calibration curve. The mean concentration of diclofenac sodium introduced i
nto the cell was 4.21 mu mol/L. The relative standard deviation of the conc
entration of diclofenac sodium introduced into ten cells is 10%.
