Instrument for the facilitation of room temperature phosphorimetry with a continuous filter paper device

The design of a simple and unique automated phosphorimetric instrument is described. The apparatus, which was developed for a new method of analysis based on room temperature phosphorescence of adsorbed organic molecules on filter paper, uses a simple rotating mirror device to perform phosphorimetric time-resolution. The results show that the RTP technique could be easily automated for large scale and fast routine analysis and therefore has a great potential in certain areas of application, such as clinical and environmental chemistry
