A Near Infrared Fluorescent Probe for Sensitive Determination of Human Serum Albumin.

A fluorescent probe 1 has been successfully developed to determine human serum albumin (HSA). Probe 1 expresses a dramatic fluorescence enhancement to HSA without interference from other amino acids. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration graphs are linear over the range of 0 - 13.3 μg/mL with the limit of determination of 0.61 μg/mL. Thus, this probe shows high sensitivity and selectivity to HSA.
