Abstract
There are described stable fluorescent labels comprising a complex of lanthanide metal and a chelating agent comprising a nucleus which is a triplet sensitizer having a triple energy greater than that of said lanthanide metal and at least two heteroatom-containing groups which form coordinate complexes with lanthanide metals and a third heteroatom-containing group or heteratom in or appended to the triplet sensitizer. Labeled physiologically active materials useful in specific binding assays such as labeled antigens, heptens, antibodies, hormones and the like comprising the stable fluorescent labels having physiologically active materials adsorbed or bonded thereto are also described.
