Long wavelength (>600nm) fluorescence offers many advantages when applied to analysis,
including minimal autofluorescence and scattered light from biological samples and the
possibility of compact, robust, yet sensitive instruments. Modern clinical analysis has a
number of specific requirements, namely specificity, sensitivity and speed, whilst the ability
to monitor samples away from the laboratory is increasingly in demand. Immunoassays
possess all these attributes and can be used in the following: environmental monitoring; clinical analysis; therapeutic drug monitoring.
This research work describes a novel portable fluorescence spectrophotometer using long
wavelength detection which can be used in all environments.
