The Application of Fluorescence in Sensing

As fluoreseent sensors are eapable of reporting on a wealth of physical information at low concentrations (micromolar concentrations are typical), they ean operate with the minimum of disturbance to the system being investigated. From an analytieal perspective, these characteristics are attractive and commercially the parsimonious quantities of compound required ean be used to offset synthetie eosts. 

The use of boronic acids in the development of ffuoreseent sensors for saccharides is a eomparatively young area of research. The first publication
