What is it about?
A novel spectrofluorimetric probe based on Ag nanoparticle (AgNPs)-enhanced terbium (III) (Tb) fluorescence was introduced for the sensitive determination of folic acid (FA).

Why is it important?
A sensitive method was de- veloped for the determination of folic acid, based on its decreas- ing effect on the fluorescence emission of 1,10-phenantroline- Tb(III)-AgNPs.
Perspectives
The method has good linearity, recovery, reproducibility and sensitivity, and was adequately exploited to follow FA content in pharmaceutical, fortified flour and human urine samples.
