Abstract
A method and apparatus for rapid parallel determination of non-volatile analytes in multiple samples is provided. The method utilizes analyte-enhanced fluorescence of a solvatochromic dye, and thus is not dependent on fluorescence of the analyte itself. An evaporation step removes volatile sample components that might otherwise interfere with analyte determination. The method is sensitive to a wide range of analyte concentrations and robust to variations in sample volume.
