“…There are many derivatization reagents usually applied for biogenic amines analysis such as bis-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (DNBZ-Cl) [13], dabsyl chloride (Dbs-Cl) [14], benzoyl chloride [15], 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) [16], [2-ethylhexyl] sulphosuccinate (AOT) [17], dansyl chloride (Dns-Cl) [18], 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) [19], o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) [20], N-hydroxysuccinimidyl fluorescein-o-acetate (SIFA) [21], 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NOS) [22] and 4-chloro-3, 5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride (CNBF) [23]. In spite of the popularity of these pre-column methods, there have also been many reports describing various shortcomings in their applications, such as short detection wavelengths, poor reproducibility and stability, redundant hydrolysates, incomplete reactions and serious interference for the determination of real samples.…”
