The fluorescence of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in HAc-NaAc buffer solution and the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) enhanced visibly with adding Al(III) and La(III). This enhanced fluorescence spectra were studied, and a new co-luminescence system of CIP + Al(III) + La(III) + CTMAB was discovered. There was a linear relationship between the enhanced fluorescence intensity and the concentration of CIP in the range of 0.50-80.2 μg l-1 under the optimized condition. A novel enhanced fluorescence method for the determination of trace CIP was established by using this co-luminescence ...
