Abstract
This invention relates to a method for analyzing gas samples, particularly with the aid of lanthanide(III) ions and ligands. The invention relates also to a kit for analyzing gas samples utilizing the properties of lanthanide(III) chelates.
Claims33
A method of analyzing a gas sample, the method comprising
- a) providing one or more receiving solutions;
- b) introducing a first gas sample into said one or more receiving solutions;
- wherein a lanthanide(III) ion and a ligand, independently from each other, are comprised in said one or more receiving solutions or introduced thereto either before or after introducing said first gas sample;
- c) detecting a signal derived from said lanthanide(III) ion in said one or more receiving solutions;
- and
- d) analyzing said first gas sample nonspecifically by comparing said signal with
- i) at least one signal derived from said lanthanide(III) ion in said one or more receiving solutions in the presence of said ligand but in the absence of said first gas sample;
- and/or
- ii) at least one signal derived from said lanthanide(III) ion in said one or more receiving solutions in the presence of said ligand, and a second gas sample.
