A new method for the chromatographic determination of polyamines is presented. The procedure consists of the reaction of 9‐fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC‐Cl) with polyamines at 50 ± 1°C for 10 min, followed by stepwise elution chromatography. The reaction is simple and the derivatives are stable. All the polyamine‐FMOC derivatives can be separated within 13 min. The linearity of this method is satisfactory in the range of 0.5–100 pmol. The detection limits for putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine are 83.3 fmol, 109 fmol, 25.5 fmol and 22.7 fmol respectively.
