PRINCIPLES OF FLUORIMETRY
PRESENTED BY: ANJALI RARICHAN FIRST YEAR M.PHARM DEPT. OF PHARMACY PRACTICE GRACE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
FLUORIMETRY
Fluorimetry is defined as the measurement of the emitted fluorescence light.
When a beam of light is incident on certain substances they emit visible light or radiations. This is known as fluorescence.
Fluorescence starts immediately after the absorption of light and stops as soon as the incident light is cut off.
The substances showing this phenomenon are known as fluorescent substances.
When light radiation is incident on certain substances they emit light continuously even after the incident light is cut off.
This type of delayed fluorescence is called phosphorescence.
Substances showing phosphorescence are phosphorescent substances.
PRINCIPLE Fluorescence is the phenomenon of emission
of radiation when there is transition from singlet excited state to singlet ground state.
Wavelength of absorbed – Excitation wavelength.
Wavelength of emitted – Emission wavelength.
These two are specific for a given substance under ideal condition.
VARIOUS ELECTRONIC STATES IN FLUORIMETRYSinglet ground state : A state in which
all electrons in a molecule are paired.Doublet state : A state in which
unpaired electrons is present.Triplet state : A state in which unpaired
electrons of same spins present.Singlet excited state: A state in which
electrons are unpaired out of opposite spin.
To achieve transition from excited state to ground state there are the possibilities:
Collisional deactivation : in which the entire energy is lost due to collisional deactivation and no radiation is emitted.
Fluorescence : Apart of energy is lost due to vibrational transition and the remaining energy is emitted as uv/visible radiation of longer wavelength .
Phosphorescence : The emission of radiation when electrons undergo transition from triplet state to ground state.
Intersystem crossing : At favourable conditions like low temperature and absence of oxygen there is transition from excited state to triplet state.

EXAMPLES OF FLUORESCENTSUBSTANCES Organic solutions such anthracene or stilbene dissolved
in benzene or toluene Calcite, Rubies, Emeralds, Diamonds. willemite, esperite, uranium,
uranyl cation, autunite or andersonite, and, hyalite opal, ruby,europium.
Atmospheric aurora. Common materials that fluoresce Vitamin B2 fluoresces yellow. Tonic water fluoresces blue due to the presence of quinine. Highlighter ink is often fluorescent due to the presence of pyranine. Banknotes, postage stamps and credit cards often have
fluorescent security features.
