ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for the enhancement of fluorescence wherein a fluorophor is connected to a textured material. The method can be used in any forensic or medical diagnostic assay, particularly where the absence or presence of a molecule having a concentration of less than about 1 .mu.g/ml is desirably determined.
