Putrescine (Put), cadaverine (Cad), spermidine (Spe), ornithine (Orn), lysine (Lys), and arginine (Arg) were determined by the CE-LIF detection after microextraction. Several factors that affect extraction efficiency, separation, and detection were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, six analytes could achieve baseline separation within 30 min, exhibiting a linear calibration at three orders of magnitude (r2 〉 0.998); the obtained enrichment factors of HF-LPME were between 19 (for Orn) and 2] 8 (for Cad), and the LODs were in the range of 0.0072-0.26 nmol/L. The proposed HF-LPME/CE-LIF method has been successfully applied for the sensitive analyses of the real-world saliva samples collected from healthy volunteers and different patients with oral diseases, providing a potential method for primary non-invasive diagnosis of some oral diseases.展开更多
