title: Fluorescence stability of human albumin solutions.
abstract: The fluorescence stability on aging of three types of human albumin solutions was investigated. For the first 8 hr after preparation, the magnitude of the fluorescence of the albumin solutions examined did not undergo the large fluctuations with time that had been previously observed for bovine albumin solutions. The fluorescence intensity of each of the human albumin solutions examined appeared to undergo a small but consistent decrease with time for the length of each study. Based on these results, the practice of preparing human albumin solutions several hours prior to use simply to achieve fluorescence stability is unnecessary.
