Solid-phase fluorescence determination of gallium(III) with morin and lumogallion immobilized on cellulose matrices

It has been demonstrated that the fluorometric test determination of gallium(III) can be performed with morin and lumogallion immobilized on thin-layer cellulose matrices. Test procedures have been developed for the determination of Ga(III) in the range 0.5–90 mg/L by the length of fluorescence zone on a test strip sealed into a polymer film (after its contact with the test solution) in the ranges 0.001–1 and 0.01–1 mg/L with the visual detection of the fluorescence of the indicator matrix with morin and lumogallion, respectively (after passing 100 and 20 mL of a test solution through it), and in the range 0.0001–0.1 mg/L by detecting the fluorescence with a portable fluorimeter.
