The separation was achieved under normal polarity mode at 24 {\^a}??C and 25 kV with a hydrodynamic injection (50 mbar for 5 s) and using a bare fused-silica capillary (95 cm length {\~A}? 50 {\^A}um i.d.) (detection length of 10.5 cm from the outlet end of the capillary). The optimized background electrolyte consisted of 400 mM malic acid. C4D parameters were set at a fixed amplitude (50 V) and frequency (600 kHz). Under the optimum conditions, the method exhibited good linearity over the range of 1.0{\^a}??100 {\^A}ug mL{\^a}??1 (R2 {\^a}?Y 0.981). The limits of detection based on signal to noise (S/N) ratios of 3 and 10 were {\^a}??0.029 {\^A}ug mL{\^a}??1. The method was used for the determination of seawater samples that were spiked with biogenic amines. Good recoveries (77{\^a}??93) were found. {\^A}{\copyright} 2018 by the authors.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85046678013&doi=10.3390\%2fmolecules23051112&partnerID=40&md5=fbea9df6ef00f0e44877e0851ee9ee19}, keywords = {biogenic amine; sea water; spermidine; spermine, capillary electrophoresis; chemistry; electric conductivity; isolation and purification, Biogenic Amines; Electric Conductivity; Electrophoresis, Capillary; Seawater; Spermidine; Spermine}, author = {Gubartallah, E.
