fluorometry /flu·o·rom·e·try/ (fldbobr-rom´ĕ-tre) an analytical technique for identifying and characterizing minute amounts of a substance by excitation of the substance with a beam of ultraviolet light and detection and measurement of the characteristic wavelength of fluorescent light emitted.
fluorometry [floo͡rom′ətrē] Etymology: L, fluere + Gk, metron, measure measurement of fluorescence emitted by compounds when exposed to ultraviolet or other intense radiant energy. The atoms of certain substances produce fluorescence of a characteristic color and wavelength, allowing identification and quantification of several clinically significant compounds in biologic specimens. Although fluorometry is a highly sensitive method of analysis, test interference by other compounds, especially drugs, may limit its usefulness in some situations. fluorometric, adj. fluorometry [floo͡-rom´ĕ-tre] an analytical technique for identifying and characterizing minute amounts of a substance by excitation of the substance with a beam of ultraviolet light and detection and measurement of the characteristic wavelength of the fluorescent light emitted.
fluorometry an analytical technique for identifying minute amounts of a substance by detection and measurement of the characteristic wavelength of the light it emits during fluorescence.
