Spectrofluorimetry as an Analytical Tool

Alok Nahata

Although some information about molecular structure may be derived from excitation and emission spectra, qualitative application of spectrofluorimetry are rare and vast majority of applications in pharmaceutical analysis concern the quantitative assay of drugs, decomposition products and metabolites. Still the use of spectrofluorimetry as an analytical tool provides a well defined identity of the compounds present in the sample on the basis of their unique fluorescent nature.
