Miscellaneous Methods for Oil Identification. High-pressure liquid chromatography has already been mentioned in conjunction with rapid fluorescence detection. It fully characterizes the polar fractions containing the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and could be of use in those cases where their overall fluorescence fingerprint cannot distinguish between two oils.

Our results show also that the profile of the fluorescence spectrum of each of the foin different species studied in this work is dilTerent Ifom the other three. However, within each species, the profiles of the fluorescence emission spectra are identical. Therefore, one application of our method is the possibility to get a fluorescence fingerprint of a precise species and its varieties and therefore to follow the trace of this species with time.

These fluorescence maps can therefore be regarded as overall fluorescence fingerprints of the system under study. They capture, in a convoluted mode, all the information that a defined system is giving, when inspected with UV/visible radiation. Each fingerprint represents the sum of responses by a series of fluorophores present in the sample and their complex interactions in their specific environment. Therefore, such fingerprints are rather sensitive to any changes, not only in terms of the fluorophore composition of the media, but also in terms of the environmental conditions the fluorophores are exposed to (pH, ionic strength, salt composition).

Figure 3.3. Fluorescence fingerprint representative of samples collected in the (Arabian Sea) upwell-ing. Water Mass Type 4. Although typical of most samples collected in the cool upweUing waters, not aU had the chlorophyll-hke peak at ex/em = 400/685. (Reprinted from Coble et al., 1998, with permission from Elsevier.) Note that the shortest excitation wavelength was 260 nm therefore some of the peaks noted in Table 3.1 were not observed. The peak labeled A in the original figure is equivalent to peak A(, according to the revised nomenclature proposed in this work.
