NIR Fluorophores in Practical Analytical Chemistry

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 52))

Abstract

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used spectroscopic tool in clinical and analytical chemistry applications. The near-infrared (NIR) region (650-1100 nm) of spectrum offers many advantages over the conventional UV-visible region, especially when background interference is a primary concern. We describe the development of practical applications using NIR fluorophores for immunodiagnostic assays. The procedure for covalent coupling of antibodies(Ab) to NIR fluorophores was systemically optimized in terms of pH, time, temperature and molar ratio. The optimum conditions for producing Ab with highest specific activity is described. We also describe the development of NIR fluorescence for detection of metal ions like aluminium and beryllium.
