title: High performance liquid chromatography of spermidine and spermine using a postcolumn reactor of immobilized polyamine oxidase (Aspergillus terreus) followed by electrochemical detection.
abstract: A highly sensitive and selective method for the determination of spermidine and spermine has been developed. A polyamine oxidase (Aspergillus terreus) immobilized column was used as a postcolumn reactor. The detection limit was 0.2 pmol/injection for both spermidine and spermine with a linear range of three orders of magnitude.
