“…Precolumn derivatization techniques for amino acids, amines, and peptides are numerous and offer several advantages, notably simple procedures, increased sensitivity, and reactions that are quick, quantitative, and reproducible − . Fluorescamine and dansyl chloride (DNS) have both been successfully used for the quantitation of ammonia or other amino acids in various matrices such as water − , urine − , air , and plant and animal tissues , . Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to evaluate these two derivatization reagents with the aim of increasing reliability, robustness, selectivity, and sensitivity of the commonly used methods.…”
