The amino acids and their conversions of the perilymph in the scala tympani were measured by using two types of High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The perilymph was collected into the micro-glass pipette via the round window. The samples were pretreated and were derivertized with OPA or PITC, and were analyzed to clarify the kinds and the concentrations. All kinds of amino acids, Tau, GLN, ASN and ORN were detected in the normal perilymph. The rate of Taurine was 2.79% and the content in the perilymph was about 28μmol/1, while it was increased with the contamination of the serum (130μmol/1).
