Method ¦© is based on quantitative fluorescence quenching of (terbium-salicylate-hexamine ternary complex) by fluoride which could be measured at ¦Ëem/¦Ëex of 547 nm/322 nm. The ¦¤F-concentration plot was rectilinear over the concentration range of 0.5 - 20 ¦Ìg/ml. Method ¦©¦© depends reaction of panthenol with nitrobenzoxadiazole chloride (NBD-Cl) and measuring the absorbance of the resultant product at 480 nm. The absorbance-concentration plot was rectilinear over the concentration range of 2 - 20 ¦Ìg/ml. %K Panthenol %K Spectrophotometry %K Spectrofluorimetry %K Stability Studies %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=18278
