Abstract
A selective and sensitive room-temperature phosphorimetric method for the direct determination of 1-naphthoxylactic acid (NA) in biological fluids is described. It is based on obtaining a phosphorescence signal from NA using TlNO3 as a heavy atom perturber and Na2SO3 as a deoxygenator without a protective medium. This technique is named non-protected room-temperature phosphorescence (NP-RTP), which allows to determine analytes in complex matrices without the need for tedious prior separation. Optimization of the operational conditions resulted in a detection limit for NA of 9.6 ng/mL according to the error propagation theory. The repeatability and standard deviation were also determined. This method was successfully applied to the determination of NA in urine and human serum.
