title: A rapid and sensitive gas chromatographic method for quantitation of 2-phenylethylamine in brain tissue and urine.
abstract: A rapid, sensitive procedure for analysis of 2-phenylethylamine in brain tissue and urine is described. The method involves extraction with a liquid ion exchanger, elution with HCl, acetylation under aqueous conditions, pentafluorobenzoylation under anhydrous conditions and analysis using a gas chromatograph equipped with a capillary column and an electron-capture detector.
