Chemiluminescent substances

Peroxymonosulphuric acid (PMSA, H SO ) proved to be a promising oxidizer in reactions with chemiluminescent substances (luminol) with participation of such ions as Mn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Cr(IV), V(V). The literature data show the possibility of utilization PMSA in indicating reaction with ferroin ([Fe(l,10-phenanthrolyne) ] ) which is accelerated by Mn(II) compounds. 

Nie et al. used a flow injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of dipyridamole in Persantin tablets [51]. A flow injection analysis system equipped with a chemiluminescence detector was used. Sodium hypochlorite was used as a chemiluminescent substance, and Triton X-100 was used as an enhancer of the chemiluminescence reaction. Sample solutions (pH 4-6) was injected into 0.2% Triton X-100 and treated with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite, and the chemiluminescence intensity then measured. The calibration graph was linear from 0.04 to 10 pg/mL of Persantin tablets (as its active ingredient dipyridamole), with a detection limit of 11 ng/mL. Recoveries were quantitative and the relative standard deviation ( = 3) was 2.7%. The method has been used to determine Persantin in injection and tablets, and the results obtained using this method agreed with those obtained by the Chinese Pharmacopoeial method.

Chemiluminescence has been studied extensively (2) for several reasons (/) chemiexcitation relates to fundamental molecular interactions and transformations and its study provides access to basic elements of reaction mechanisms and molecular properties (2) efficient chemiluminescence can provide an emergency or portable light source (J) chemiluminescence provides means to detect and measure trace elements and pollutants for environmental control, or clinically important substances (eg, metaboHtes, specific proteins, cancer markers, hormones, DNA) and (4) classification of the hioluminescent relationship between different organisms defines their biological relationship and pattern of evolution. 

Clinical Analysis. A wide range of clinically important substances can be detected and quantitated using chemiluminescence or bioluminescence methods. Coupled enzyme assay protocols permit the measurement of kinase, dehydrogenase, and oxidases or the substrates of these enzymes as exemplified by reactions of glucose, creatine phosphate, and bile acid in the following ... 

Ozone can be analyzed by titrimetry, direct and colorimetric spectrometry, amperometry, oxidation—reduction potential (ORP), chemiluminescence, calorimetry, thermal conductivity, and isothermal pressure change on decomposition. The last three methods ate not frequently employed. Proper measurement of ozone in water requites an awareness of its reactivity, instabiUty, volatility, and the potential effect of interfering substances. To eliminate interferences, ozone sometimes is sparged out of solution by using an inert gas for analysis in the gas phase or on reabsorption in a clean solution. Historically, the most common analytical procedure has been the iodometric method in which gaseous ozone is absorbed by aqueous KI. 

In this work the development of mathematical model is done assuming simplifications of physico-chemical model of peroxide oxidation of the model system with the chemiluminesce intensity as the analytical signal. The mathematical model allows to describe basic stages of chemiluminescence process in vitro, namely spontaneous luminescence, slow and fast flashes due to initiating by chemical substances e.g. Fe +ions, chemiluminescent reaction at different stages of chain reactions evolution. 

Nowadays all over the world considerable attention is focused on development of chemical sensors for the detection of various organic compounds in solutions and gas phase. One of the possible sensor types for organic compounds in solutions detection is optochemotronic sensor - device of liquid-phase optoelectronics that utilize effect of electrogenerated chemiluminescence. In order to enhance selectivity and broaden the range of detected substances the modification of working electrode of optochemotronic cell with organic films is used. Composition and deposition technique of modifying films considerably influence on electrochemical and physical processes in the sensor. 

A note on the assays of coelenterazine and luciferase activity. The methods for measuring coelenterazine and the corresponding luciferases are given in Appendix C5. Special attention must be paid to the fact that coelenterazine in aqueous buffer solutions spontaneously emits a low level of chemiluminescence in the absence of any luciferase, which is greatly enhanced by the presence of various substances, including egg yolk, BSA and various surfactants (especially, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide). Therefore, the utmost care must be taken in the detection and measurement of a low level of...

The analytic principles that have been applied to accumulate air quality data are colorimetry, amperometry, chemiluminescence, and ultraviolet absorption. Calorimetric and amperometric continuous analyzers that use wet chemical techniques (reagent solutions) have been in use as ambient-air monitors for many years. Chemiluminescent analyzers, which measure the amount of chemiluminescence produced when ozone reacts with a gas or solid, were developed to provide a specific and sensitive analysis for ozone and have also been field-tested. Ultraviolet-absorption analyzers are based on a physical detection principle, the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by a substance. They do not use chemical reagents, gases, or solids in their operation and have only recently been field-tested. Ultraviolet-absorption analyzers are ideal as transfer standards, but, as discussed earlier, they have limitations as air monitors, because aerosols, mercury vapor, and some hydrocarbons could, interfere with the accuracy of ozone measurements made in polluted air. 

HRP substrates (Sred) can be selected to give products that can be monitored easily by colorimetric, fiuorometric or chemiluminescent methods. A popular choice in colorimetric assays is 3,3, 5,5 -tetrameth-ylbenzidine (TMB), a colorless substance that gives a blue product (Sox) on oxidation. Important considerations when choosing suitable substrates are cost, safety, sensitivity, solubility, and stability. It is sometimes necessary to use a substrate that gives an insoluble colored product, for example, in histochemical staining or membrane-bound immunoassays. 

We should also note that there are other ways in which substances can luminesce (/.e., produce light). One of the most common nonfluorescent mechanisms is called chemiluminescence. Chemical reactions can produce light when radicals (/.e., atoms or molecules with reactive unpaired electrons) combine to form a covalent bond. Heating of molecules can also cause them to display chemiluminescence. And, of course, there are biological processes that are accompanied by chemiluminescence. The most familiar case is the luciferase reaction associated with fire flies and luminescent marine creatures. Peroxidase reactions also produce faint luminescence.
