Glutathione(GSH) in biological samples was determined by high performance liquid chromatographic(HPLC) method with fluorescence detector(FLD) after monobromobimane(MBB) or 4-fluoro-7-sulfobenzofurazan(SBD-F) derivatization. The detection limit of <TEX>$0.03{\mu}g/mL$</TEX> was obtained after MBB derivatization, derivative of MBB was about 200 times more sensitive than that of SBD-F. N-acetylcysteine was used as internal standard and tetrabutylammonium ion as counter ion for better separation. The determination by ion-pairing chromatography after MBB derivatization was characterized by linearity in the range between <TEX>$0.08{\sim}8.33{\mu}g/mL$</TEX> with a good correlation coefficient of 0.998. By precision test appeared relative standard deviation at less than 5% at three different concentrations. This method can be used for the analysis of GSH in plasma and tissue.
