A Data Acquisition and Processing Software for High-Resolution Shpol'Skii Spectrofluorometry

Abstract
This study describes a software called “HAP”, realized in our laboratory for rapid data acquisition and processing on a high-resolution low-temperature spectrofluorometer. The main characteristics of the setup developed and the utilities offered by “HAP” will contribute to a routine analysis of hydrocarbon traces and prove the great analytical capability of this luminescence method. Using this new computerized system six parent priority PAHs in sediment and natural water samples from an alpine river near Annecy (France) have been determined.
