Fluorimetric Determination of Alkylating Activity in Particulate Samples

摘要

A sensitive fluorimetric method for the determination of alkylating activity in particulate samples has been developed. The method is based on the alkylation of NH3(g) and the conversion of the primary amine salts produced to fluorophors using fluorescamine. This method requires no sample treatment prior to reaction with NH3(g), allows fixation of samples in the field, and is suitable for routine analyses.
