Phosphorescence, Fluorescence, and Chemiluminescence in Clinical ChemistryUpdate based on original article by Joanna M. Schulman and Stephen G. Schulman, Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry, © 2000, John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract

Several modern aspects of luminescence spectroscopy are considered, especially as they pertain to clinical analysis of endogenous substances and of drugs and their metabolites. Fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopies and chemiluminescence methods are compared. For this purpose, application of different dyes is described.
