  • Title: Sensitive detection of trace aluminium in biological tissues by confocal laser scanning microscopy after staining with lumogallion.
    Author: Uchiumi A, Takatsu A, Teraki Y.
    Journal: Analyst; 1998 Apr; 123(4):759-62. PubMed ID: 9684408.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes a method for the sensitive detection of aluminium in biological tissues by real time confocal laser scanning microscopy after staining with lumogallion. The method enabled detection of aluminium > or = 9 micrograms g-1 in bone and is more sensitive than the conventional histochemical methods with aluminium and solochrome azurine, etc. Lumogallion reacts specifically with aluminium to form a fluorescent complex so that the proposed method is useful for detection and identification of aluminium in tissues.
