Title: Immobilized calcein for metal ion preconcentration

Journal Article · · Anal. Chem.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5529222

A technique is demonstrated for the preparation of immobilized calcein, (2',7',((bis(carboxymethyl)amino)methyl)-fluorescein), to be used for metal ion preconcentration. The calcein is of particular interest as a reagent for transition metals. The preconcentration is demonstrated for cobalt, copper, and nickel ions. Fluorescence spectra of the calcein at various pH values were obtained. Values were determined for the conditional binding constants of immobilized and dissolved calcein with the transition metal ions as a function of pH.
