. In the presence of the heavy atom perturber Pb(Ac) 2 , fluorescein (HFin) can emit strong and stable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) on the surface of a nitrocellulose membrane (NCM) at λ ex max /λ em max = 480/648 nm. It can be spiked with the 1.5-generation polyamidoamine dendrimers (abbreviated: D-1.5) to emit stronger RTP. It was found that a quantitative specific affinity adsorption (AA) reaction between concanavalin agglutinin (abbreviated: Con A) labeled with D-1.5-HFin and N-acetylglucosamine (G) could be carried out on the surface of NCM. The product of the reaction (D-1.5-HFin- Con A-G) could emit strong and stable RTP, and the ΔI p was proportional to the content of G. According to the above facts, a new method for determination of G by affinity adsorption solid substrate-room temperature phosphorimetry (AA-SS-RTP) was established, based on Con A labeled with fluorescein using D-1.5 dendrimers molecules as sensitizer. The linear range of the sandwich method was 0.040–60 pg G spot −1 (corresponding concentration range: 0.10–150 ng mL −1 ; sample volume: 0.40 µL spot −1 ). The regression equation of the working curve was ΔI p = 6.880 + 5.610 m G  pg spot −1 , r = 0.9987. The working solutions containing 0.10 and 150 ng mL −1  G were determined repeatedly 11 times, respectively. The corresponding RSDs were 2.9 and 3.8%. The detection limit of this method calculated by 3Sb/k was 0.021 pg spot −1 (5.2 × 10 −11  g mL −1 ). Compared with the direct method (detection limit: 0.078 pg spot −1 , linear range: 0.40–40 pg G spot −1 ), the sensitivity was obviously improved and the linear range was wider. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of G in human plasma, as well as to the supervision and forecast of human diseases, for it is of good sensitivity, accuracy and precision.
