Abstract
A new fluorometric technique was compared to conventional fluorometry with and without pheophytin a (pheo a) correction and to spectrophotometry using Lorenzen's modified monochromatic equations and Jeffrey and Humphrey's trichromatic equation to calculate chlorophyll a (chl a). The new technique uses excitation and emission filters that are highly selective for chl a, eliminating the interference caused by accessory pigments and pheopigment degradation products. Four method parameters were evaluated using the new technique, conventional fluorometry and spectrophotometry. They were (1) sensitivity, (2) linear dynamic range, (3) precision, and (4) accuracy.
