Theory Collapse of gas/vapour cavities in an acoustic field produces extremely high pressures and temperatures capable of causing the emission of light from the core of the collapsing cavity (sonoluminescence) and also the formation of oxidising radical species that can react in the solution with molecules, such as luminol, to produce a secondary, chemical luminescence. 

Cobalt (II) has been determined by online measurements on seawater which has been passed through a column containing 8-quinolinol immobilised on silica gel, followed by chemical luminescence detection [244].

The journal Luminescence (The Journal of Biological and Chemical Luminescence) includes a section featuring new products, people, and conferences,... 

This review deals mainly with BL analytical applications in the last 10-15 past years, but some previous fundamental works are also listed. In Table 3 some fundamentals references of general interest and the findings of recent symposia on this topic are collected. In the journal Luminescence, the Journal of Biological and Chemical Luminescence (previously Journal of Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence) are also reported surveys of the recent literature on selected topics (like ATP or GFP applications), instruments, and kits commercially available. 

The equipment for screening passengers and baggage is designed to identify trace amounts of specific known explosives. Analytic trace detection is conducted using mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, chemical luminescence, or ion mobility spectrometry. Ion mobility spectrometry is most commonly used. Novel explosive material wiU not be probably detected by these systems. Information on the equipment s technical performance is not publicly available because of security reasons, which inhibits an independent analysis of equipment s performance [160]. 

In the congressional research service (CRS) report for the USA Congress (2005), Shea and Morgan [75] included chemical luminescence as one of the trace detection techniques for aviation security. They point out that bulk detection of explosives on airline passengers is of interest and that these systems detect only bulk quantities of explosives, so they would not raise nuisance alarms on passengers who have recently handled explosives for innocuous reasons. They also mention that trace detection techniques would also detect bulk quantities of explosives and may raise security concerns about passengers who have been in contact with explosives.

Radioimmunoassays can detect ricin in blood at concentrations as low as 50-100 pg/mL (Godal et al., 1981). Colorimetric ELISA methods can detect ricin spiked into ex vivo human serum or urine samples accurately at levels as low as 1 ng/mL (100 pg/well) with acceptable inter- and intraassay variation (Poli et al., 1994). Chemical luminescence-based ELISA technology improves the detection limit to 0.1-1 ng/mL ricin, but the coefficients of variation may be as high as 50% (Poli et al., 1994). Combination of a sensitive immunological assay with PCR amplification may achieve a limit of detection for ricin at levels as low as 10 fg/mL (Lubelli et al., 2006).

Besides low detection limits and high sensitivity, chemical luminescence analysis is relatively simple and requires inexpensive equipment. It is widely used in detecting trace amounts of an especially pure component in a mixture, in quantitative analysis of pure metals and alloys, semiconductor materials, soil, air, biological, and other specimens. 

Chemical luminescence analysis of inorganic compounds consists of various methods of detecting elements with the help of the luminescence phenomenon. These methods are based on chemical reactions which generally proceed in solutions and are accompanied with emission of radiation (rarely with quenching of this emission) at room or lower temperatures (often, at liquid nitrogen temperature, i.e. 77 K)1. Ultraviolet or visible light is usually used as the excitation source. 

Chemical luminescence analysis is an important application of the luminescence phenomenon in practice. Naturally, the development of new luminescence techniques...
