In recent years, the detection of nitrosamine precursors has become an important issue for regulatory authorities such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The present study provides a pre-column derivatization method for the analysis of dimethylamine (DMA) and diethylamine (DEA) in pharmaceutical products using HPLC and a fluorescence detector. Appropriate chromatographic parameters, including mobile phase composition (organic solvent, buffer, pH), elution type, flow rate, temperature, and λexcitation/emission, were investigated.

Such advances increase the relevance of existing interventions, as well as allow novel methodologies and technological synergies. New approaches attempt to partially overcome long-term disability caused by spinal cord injury, using either invasive bridging technologies or noninvasive human-machine interfaces.
