“…It's important to highlight that, as expected, the analytical performance of the proposed instrument for this determination falls short of that achieved when using a commercial spectro-uorometer, which can yield a detection limit of 0.009 mg L −1 for quinine within a linear calibration range of 0.05 to 1.48 mg L −1 . 25 However, the uorimeter described in this present work has demonstrated superior analytical performance for a similar application combining PADs and digital image detection, as recently described by Tsaari et al 15 In their work, a detection limit of 3.6 mg L −1 (compared to 1.1 mg L −1 in this study) was estimated for a calibration curve ranging from…”
