ABSTRACT

Urine contains a variety of compounds including a number of natural fluorophores. Fluorescence spectroscopy has proven to be a useful tool in analytical science. Fluorescence detection has three major advantages over other light-based investigation methods: high sensitivity, speed, and safety. Our work presents the newest approach to analysis of dog urine. Fluorescent fingerprint can very quickly reveal differences between complicated mixtures without adding any reagents. We describe autofluorescence characteristics of the urine of healthy dogs and of those with various disorders using fluorescent fingerprint. Fluorescent analysis has given good results to distinguish between pathological urine and the healthy standard in dogs. Our results suggest that this method can be used to characterize fluorescent properties of canine urine and to reveal some pathological changes in dogs.
