Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining concentration of polyelectrolyte or phosphonate in a sample comprising polyelectrolyte or phosphonate in low concentrations. The method comprises admixing the sample with a reagent comprising a lanthanid(lll) ion; admixing the sample with silica; allowing the polyelectrolyte or phosphonate in the sample to interact with the reagent comprising the lanthanide(lll) ion and the silica; exciting the sample and detecting a sample signal deriving from the lanthanide(lll) ion by time-resolved fluorescence measurement; and determining the concentration of the polyelectrolyte or phosphonate in the sample by using the detected sample signal.
