Modern aspects of fluorimetry as applied to clinical chemistry

Abstract

This paper deals with advanced aspects of fluorimetric techniques such as derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence polarization spectroscopy and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The potential of each of these techniques in the clinical laboratory is discussed. The advantages of modern fluorimetric techniques over conventional techniques in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, precision, automation and scope of application are also systematically discussed. © 1991 IUPAC
