Fluorimetric determination of sphingosine and its application to natural mixtures of glycosphingolipids

A sensitive estimation of sphingosine, by measurement of the fluorescence of a complex formed with 1-naphthylamino-4-sulfonic acid, is described. The practical range is 5-35 nmoles sphingosine. The method is used to estimate, in terms of sphingosine, amounts of ceramide and glycosphingolipids. The i...
