Abstract
The present invention relates to a method employing at least one luminescent tracer compound and a luminescent compound used as an internal reference, which, when exposed to the same excitation wavelength, are capable of emitting at difference wavelengths, .lambda..sub.2 and .lambda..sub.1 respectively, either by direct luminescence or by the induction of a luminescent emission, and correcting the measurement of the luminescence emitted by the tracer compound at wavelength .lambda..sub.2 on the basis of the measurement of the luminescence emitted by the reference compound at wavelength .lambda.1.
