An ion chromatographic (IC) method was developed for the separation of five biogenic amines (BAs), including putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, spermidine and spermine, in source water. The sample was separated on a TSK-GEL SuperIC cation exchange column (150 mm x 4.6 mm) after filtering treatment by 0.45 microm inorganic membrane. Methanesulfonic acid was used as eluent for concentration gradient elution at the rate of 1.0 mL/min. The injection volume was 100 microL and the BAs were detected by a non-suppressed conductivity detector. The result showed that the baseline separation was obtained for the 5 kinds of BAs. The linear relationships between the concentration and the peak area were obtained in the concentration range of 1.0 - 30.0 mg/L. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of retention time and peak area were no more than 0.02% and 2.08%, respectively. The recoveries were from 96.0% to 107.0%. The method is simple, rapid, highly sensitive and with good repeatability. It could be used for the determination the BAs in the source water.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries

D002103	Cadaverine	A foul-smelling diamine formed by bacterial DECARBOXYLATION of LYSINE. It is also an intermediate secondary metabolite in lysine-derived alkaloid biosynthetic pathways (e.g., QUINOLIZIDINES and LYCOPODIUM).	1,5-Pentanediamine,BioDex 1,Pentamethylenediamine,1,5 Pentanediamine
D002852	Chromatography, Ion Exchange	Separation technique in which the stationary phase consists of ion exchange resins. The resins contain loosely held small ions that easily exchange places with other small ions of like charge present in solutions washed over the resins.

D006632	Histamine	An amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter.	Ceplene,Histamine Dihydrochloride,Histamine Hydrochloride,Peremin
D001679	Biogenic Amines	A group of naturally occurring amines derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of the natural amino acids. Many have powerful physiological effects (e.g., histamine, serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine). Those derived from aromatic amino acids, and also their synthetic analogs (e.g., amphetamine), are of use in pharmacology.	Amines, Biogenic,Biogenic Amine,Amine, Biogenic
D013095	Spermidine	A polyamine formed from putrescine. It is found in almost all tissues in association with nucleic acids. It is found as a cation at all pH values, and is thought to help stabilize some membranes and nucleic acid structures. It is a precursor of spermine.
D013096	Spermine	A biogenic polyamine formed from spermidine. It is found in a wide variety of organisms and tissues and is an essential growth factor in some bacteria. It is found as a polycation at all pH values. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids, particularly in viruses, and is thought to stabilize the helical structure.
D014874	Water Pollutants, Chemical	Chemical compounds which pollute the water of rivers, streams, lakes, the sea, reservoirs, or other bodies of water.	Chemical Water Pollutants,Landfill Leachate,Leachate, Landfill,Pollutants, Chemical Water
