Liquid chromatographic separation techniques are useful for the simultaneous determination of various amino acids and bioamines. 

Concerning real-world samples, uncountable numbers of interfering substances, including peptides and other amino compounds, are present in the complicated biological matrices, such as tissues and physiological fluids. Therefore, selective liquid-phase separation techniques in combination with sensitive detection systems are indispensable approaches. The development of the novel reagents as well as novel separation techniques have definitely contributed (and will also continue to contribute) to expanding the frontiers of amino acid and bioamine research.
