3,4-Dimethoxybenzylamine is shown to be a highly sensitive pre-column fluorescence derivatization reagent for the determination of serotonin in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography. The reagent reacts selectively with 5-hydroxyindoles including serotonin in slightly alkaline media in the presence of potassium
