A procedure was selected for the simultaneous extraction and purification of abscisic acid (ABA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA). Unnecessary steps were eliminated and an accumulation of aqueous phase was avoided. The superior performance of diethyl ether (compared to ethyl acetate) for bulk purification and the superior resolution provided by 250 millimeter columns packed with 5-micrometer spherical particles of strong anion exchanger and octadecylsilane (C18) greatly facilitated the purification of samples. A fixed-wavelength (254 nanometer) ultraviolet detector and a fluorescence detector connected in series on a high performance liquid chromatograph permitted nondestructive monitoring and measurement of ABA and IAA. Derivatization was not necessary for chromatography or for detection. Isocratic elution with simple mobile phases gave sharp peaks. A few simple precautions minimized losses. Recoveries through the entire procedure averaged about 75% for ABA and about 50% for IAA. Purified ABA and IAA fractions were usually free of interfering contaminants. Identities were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
