Abstract

Mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectra were obtained for serotonin and the polyamines. The predominant reaction observed was the loss of NH3 from the protonated species. The MIKE methodology was applied to the direct analysis of polyamines in bacteria without any sample preparation.Quantitative analysis was shown to be possible with deuterated putrescine as an internal standard.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
