Abstract

Molecular fluorescence spectrometry is widely used in chemical analysis for several reasons, including (a) the ability to achieve very low limits of detection for intensely fluorescent analytes; (b) its capabilities for remote detection (e.g., by laser and/or fiber optic probe techniques), and (c) acquisition of information useful for molecular identification (excitation and emission spectra; decay times; polarization).
