title: Spectrofluorimetric determination of dopamine using 1,5-bis(4,6-dicholro-1,3,5-triazinylamino) naphthalene.
abstract: A new fluorescent reagent, 1,5-bis(4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazinylamino)naphthalene, containing two active chlorines, was synthesized by a one-step reaction. Under the optimum conditions for the determination of dopamine, the enhanced fluorescence intensity is proportional to the dopamine concentration. The fluorescence intensity was measured at lambda(ex/em) = 400/460 nm, with and without dopamine. The linear range and detection limit for the determination of dopamine were 1.0 x 10(-7) mol/L-5.0 x 10(-5) mol/L and 4.0 x 10(-8) mol/L. This method is simple, practical, can afford good precision and accuracy and can be successfully applied to assess dopamine in injections and human serum samples.
