6、 has been applied to fluorescence-measuring systems utilizing non-laser, low-energy excitationsources. There is no assurance that extremely intense illumi-nation will not cause photodecomposition2of the compoundsuggested in this test method. For this reason, it is recom-mended that this test method

Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3E578 Test Method for Linearity of Fluorescence MeasuringSystems3. Summary of Test Method3.1 To measure the concentration corresponding to

11、 theLOD, the fluorescence intensity scale and gain on the detectorare adjusted such that noise observed with pure solvent in thesample cell is large enough to measure. The test solution is thendiluted until readings on both the test solution and pure solventcan be read at the same intensity, scale,

12、and instrument settings.The concentration corresponding to the limit of detection isthat at which the noise intensity, multiplied by three, is equal tothe signal intensity.3.2 This test for limit of detection requires an instrument tomeet the following conditions: stable, free of extraneous noise,el

13、ectrical pickup, and internal stray light. The sample spacemust be covered to exclude room light. The instrument shouldbe operated according to the manufacturers recommendations,or, if they are modified, the modifications must be appliedconsistently to the test for limit of detection and to the anal

United States1NOTE 1To obtain the lowest reading (the best instrumental response)for the limit of detection of fluorescent material, a number of precautionsmust be taken. The quality, condition, and positio

18、n of the sample cell aremost important. The cell must be made of fused silica that does notfluoresce at the excitation wavelength and be free of scratches and marksthat scatter light into the fluorescence detection system. Only spectralgrade chemicals and solvents (including water) that do not fluor

19、esceshould be used.4Dilute solutions of quinine sulfate dihydrate should bemade, just before use, from concentrated stock solutions.All samples usedmust be maintained at the same temperature to obviate effects due totemperature fluctuations. The average temperature coefficient for fluores-cence inte

20、nsity in the temperature range from 16 35C is 0.62 % C at450 nm for 1 g/mL quinine sulfate dihydrate in 0.1 mol/L HClO4.54. Significance and Use4.1 When determining the limiting detectable concentrationof a fluorescent substance, it is usually necessary to increasethe readout scale of a photoelectri

21、c instrument to a point wherenoise (that is, random fluctuations of the system) becomesapparent. This noise will be superimposed upon the signal fromthe sample.4.2 In molecular fluorescence spectroscopy, the limit ofdetection for the sample will be determined by the limitingsignal-to-noise ratio, S/

22、N, where the signal, S, is the differencebetween readings obtained with the sample and blanksolutions, and N is the total root-mean-square (rms) noise. Thelimit of detection for the sample will be given by theinstrument readings that give a signal equal to three times therms value of the noise.NOTE

23、2Factors other than noise affecting the sample concentrationcorresponding to the limit of detection include: the spectral bandwidths ofthe excitation and emission monochromators, the intensity of the excitinglight that can be concentrated on the sample, the fraction of thefluorescence collected by t

24、he detection system, the response time of thedetection system, and the purity of the solvent. The size and arrangementof the sample container with respect to the light beams are also important,as they affect both the desired signal and the extraneous signal that onlycontributes noise.NOTE 3The value

25、 of rms noise (N) can be obtained by calculating thestandard deviation of a series of readings of the signal from the sample atthe peak emission wavelength at approximately 450 nm as follows:rms 5 =(x 2 x!2/n 2 1! (1)where:x = mean of the series of readings,x = value of the individual reading, andn

26、= number of readings.Alternatively, rms noise may be estimated by noting the extremedifferences between the members of a series of readings (peak-to-peaknoise) and dividing by a factor that is usually taken to be 5.6, 75. Reagents5.1 Prepare a stock solution of quinine sulfate dihydrate(C20H22O2N2)2

27、H2SO42H2O by transferring 0.100 g of highpurity crystalline dihydrate of quinine sulfate8into a 100-mLvolumetric flask and fill the flask to volume using either 0.1mol/L sulfuric acid or 0.1 mol/L perchloric acid as the solvent.This solution contains 1 mg/mL of quinine sulfate dihydrate.NOTE 4Either

28、 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid or 0.1 mol/L perchloric acid canbe used as a solvent with quinine sulfate dihydrate, but the solvent that ischosen must also be used as the blank. Take note that the quantum yieldof quinine sulfate dihydrate in solution has been shown to be about 13 %smaller in 0.1 mol/L sul

29、furic acid than in 0.1 mol/L perchloric acid, whichwill result in a corresponding increase in the concentration of quininesulfate dihydrate in 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid versus that in 0.1 mol/Lperchloric acid at the LOD for a particular instrument.5.2 Make serial dilutions by diluting aliquots of the

30、stocksolution and successive solutions to ten times their volumewith the solvent. Repeat this process until the desired concen-tration is obtained. The sixth successive dilution will result ina concentration of 1 ng/mL.5.3 Any fluorescence from the pure solvent will interferewith the limit of detect

31、ion measurement. The solvent should betested for fluorescence before being used with this method. Totest for fluorescence, follow the procedures given in sections6.1 to 6.5, but replace the blank with an empty sample cell, thatis, just air in the cell, and replace the dilute test solution withthe bl

32、ank.5.4 Calculate Sand B, the average signal of the blank andempty cell , respectively, and the rms noise of the signal fromthe empty cell, as described in 7.1.IfSis greater than Bbymore than three times the rms noise of the empty cell signal,then fluorescence from the solvent may be present.6. Proc

33、edure6.1 Adjust the fluorescence-measuring system for normaloperating conditions. The widest excitation and emissionbandwidth available on the instrument should be used (not toexceed 40 nm).6.2 Set the excitation wavelength and emission wavelengthin accordance with Test Method E578. For quinine sulf

34、atedihydrate in solution, the peak wavelengths will be approxi-mately 350 and 450 nm, respectively.NOTE 5In some fluorescence measuring systems, it may not bepossible to adjust excitation or emission wavelengths to obtain themaximum fluorescence of quinine sulfate dihydrate in solution. However,user

35、s of such instruments should be aware of the Raman scatter phenom-enon due to solvent alone. Such Raman scatter may contribute signifi-cantly and independently to noise, blank, or test solution readings.6.3 Set the signal integration time to 1 s, or the instrumentalequivalent.6.4 Put the pure solven

36、t in the sample cell and adjustinstrument settings such that the peak-to-peak noise is approxi-mately 5 % of full range of the instrument at these settings.This readout scale is referred to as “full scale” in all sectionsthat follow. Measure the signal from the blank for at least tenindependent read

The average of these ten signals, B, is usedin 7.1.4The procedure used to recognize fluorescence in a solvent is given in 6.3 and6.4.5Velapoldi, R. A., and Mielenz, K.

39、of the sample cell maynot be feasible, such as, in process control (continuous flow analysis) orchromatographic column effluent monitors. With such instrumentation,emission from 10 aliquots of solvent and 10 aliquots of test solutionshould be measured.6.5 Replace the pure solvent with a dilute test

If the signal, s,resulting for this test solution does not fall within these limits,replace the test solution with a soluti
