In the BR buffer solution(pH=6),CIP-Cu chelate interacted with MTs to lead to enhance the absorbance intensity of system,which was proportional to the concentration of MTs at 272 nm.Based on this phenomenon,a new method for the determination of MTs was proposed.The linear range for MTs was 0.259~1.54 μmol/L with a determination limit of 7.76×10-8 mol/L.The average recovery was 91.8%.The method is simple,rapid,sensitive,and had been applied to det...
