A new strategy to identify and eliminate the inner filter effects by outer filter technique.
To identify and eliminate the inner filter effects (IFEs), prepositive and side cells containing absorbents are fixed beside the fluorescer contained cell. In this way, excitation and emission lights can be quenched by primary and secondary outer filter effects respectively, depending on absorbent concentration and cell length. Herein the quenching of emission fluorescence caused by IFEs can be equally reduced by outer filter effects (OFEs) and the interference of IFEs was eliminated. This approach was experimentally used for identifying the interaction mode and mechanism between BSA and nanoAg. Results showed that the quenching of BSA fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence mainly attributes to IFEs, instead of static/dynamic fluorescent quenching. In view of the above, the elimination of the interference of IFEs by the design of OFEs plays an important part in the precise application of fluorescence detector.
