K. Yoshikawa et al., Time-resolved fluorometric detection of DNA using a tetradentate beta-diketonate europium chelate as a label, ANAL SCI, 15(2), 1999, pp. 121-124
A tetradentate beta-diketonate europium chelate, 4,4'-bis(1 ",1 ", 1 ",2 ",
2 ",3 ",3 "-heptafluoro-4 ",6 "-hexanedion-6 "-yl)-chloro- sulfo-o-terpheny
l(BHHCT)-Eu3+, was labeled to a streptavidin-bovine serum albumin conjugate
for time-resolved fluorometric detection of lambda DNA by hybridization wi
th a biotinylated probe DNA in a microtiter well. The method gave a detecti
on limit of 23 pg/well (solid-phase measurement) and 1 pg/well (solution-ph
ase measurement) for specific DNA.
