Abstract

Aminoglycoside antibiotics, especially gentamicin, in biological fluid samples are assayed fluorimetrically by mixing the sample with a fluorescent-labelled compound and with antibodies. The fluorescence of the compound is reduced when the compound binds with the antibodies, and by measuring the fluorescence of the mixture, the amount of antibiotic in the sample can be determined.
