| Description | Fluorescent molecules with emission maxima above 500 nm are often dynamically quenched by OH oscillators present in water molecules. We have changed H2O for D2O to obtain higher fluorescence intensity signal. Our experiments carried out on spectrofluorometer have proved that anthracyclines can achieve about 300 % higher response in D2O as solvent. The affect can be employed in various analytical methods including HPLC and capillary electrophoresis coupled to fluorescence detection. |
