Fluorimetric analysis method for bilirubin

摘要

Fluorimetric analysis of bilirubin contained in an aqueous liquid is carried out by the method comprising: (a) contacting together the aqueous liquid and an interactive, polymeric mordant composition for bilirubin to mordant bilirubin; (b) thereafter, or during step (a), subjecting the mordanted bilirubin to activating radiation effective to excite the mordanted bilirubin and produce detectable fluorescence; and (c) detecting this fluorescence to obtain a determination relating to the presence and/or concentration of bilirubin in the test sample.
