An alternatively minimizing covariant matrix error (AMCME) algorithm, newly proposed by the present authors, was applied to the simultaneous fluorometric determination of pyridoxal, pyridoxamine and 4-pyridoxic acid without loss of sensitivity. The experimental results illustrate that the profiles of spectra and concentration can be accurately resolved using the AMCME algorithm with a high sensitivity and stable repeatability. That is to say, the closely overlapping problem of the spectra could be resolved owing to the characteristic features of the AMCME algorithm.
