A new chemiluminescence (CL) method using flow injection has been described for the rapid and sensitive determination of three fluoroquinolone derivatives, namely ofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. The method is based on the CL reaction of the studied fluoroquinolones with tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bipy)(3)(2+)] and Ce(IV) in sulfuric acid medium. Under the optimum conditions, the CL intensity is proportional to the concentration of the drugs in solution over the range 0.05-7.0 mug ml(-1) for norfloxacin, 0.05-6.0 mug ml(-1) for ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and 0.003-0.7 mug ml(-1) for ofloxacin. The limits of detection (s/n=3) were 3.1x10(-8) M norfloxacin, 2.6x10(-8) M ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and 5.5x10(-9) M ofloxacin. The method was applied successfully to the determination of these compounds in dosage forms and biological fluids.     

A simple and rapid flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of noscapine with Ru(phen)3(2+)-Ce(IV) system

A new flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) system was used for the determination of noscapine. This technique is based on the reduction effect of noscapine on the Ru(phen)3(3+), which is produced by reaction between Ru(phen)3(2+) and acidic Ce(IV) solutions, and this rapid reduction produces strong CL. Calibration plots were linear over the range of 3.0 x 10(-7) - 2.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) and 2.0 x 10(-6) - 2.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1). The CL intensity was so high, that it is able to produce a detection limit of 6.6 x 10(-8) M noscapine (3sigma). The relative standard deviation of 2.0 x 10(-6) M noscapine was 1.0% (n=10). The proposed method was successfully applied for the flow injection determination of noscapine in cough and Tonin syrup samples. The results of real sample analyses show good recovery percentages (97.3-102.4%). The minimum sampling rate was 100 samples per hour.     

Determination of riboflavin by enhancing the chemiluminescence intensity of peroxomonosulfate-cobalt(II) system

A weak chemiluminescent (CL) emission was observed in the decomposition of peroxomonosulfate (HSO5-), which would be accelerated in the presence of trace amounts of cobalt (II). The mechanism was due to the production of singlet oxygen (1O2). Interestedly, riboflavin can enhance the CL and the CL intensity was strongly dependent on riboflavin concentration. Based on this phenomenon, a flow injection analysis (FIA) CL method was established for the determination of riboflavin. Additionally, the possible CL mechanism is proposed based on the kinetic curve of the CL reaction, CL spectra, UV-vis spectra and fluorescent spectra. The CL intensity was correlated linearly with concentration of riboflavin over the range of 1.0x10(-4) to 1.0x10(-8) g mL-1; the detection limit was 9.0x10(-9) g mL-1(S/N=3); the relative standard deviation was 1.4% for 9x10(-7) g mL-1 riboflavin (n=11). Furthermore, this method was applied to the determination of riboflavin in real tablets and injections successfully.     

Post-chemiluminescence phenomenon of NBS-luminol reactions and their applications to flow injection analysis of piroxicam.

A new post-chemiluminescence (PCL) reaction was observed when piroxicam was injected into the reaction mixture after the CL reaction of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and luminol. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed based on the studies of the CL kinetic characteristics, the CL spectra, fluorescence spectra and other experiments. A new flow injection CL method for the determination of piroxicam was established based on the PCL reaction. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for the determination of piroxicam was 1.2% (n = 11, c = 2.0 x 10(-6) g/ml). The CL intensity responded linearly to the concentration of piroxicam in the range 1.0 x 10(-7) - 1.0 x 10(-5) g/ml (r = 0.9991). The detection limit was 4.0 x 10(-8) g/ml. The method had been applied to the determination of piroxicam in tablets with satisfactory results.     

Flow injection electrogenerated chemiluminescence determination of vanadium and its application to environmental water sample

A selective flow injection electrogenerated chemiluminescence(CL) method for the determination of vanadium is described in this paper. It was based on the chemiluminescence reaction of luminol with vanadium(II), which was on-line electrogenerated from vanadate using a flow-through carbon electrolytic cell. Under the optimal conditions, the CL intensity was linear to the concentration of vanadium in the range of 5.0x10(-10)-1.0x10(-7) gml(-1) with a detection limit of 2x10(-10) gml(-1) vanadium. The relative standard deviation was 4% for 5.0x10(-8) gml(-1) vanadium in 11 repeated measurements. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of vanadium in environmental water samples.     

Chemiluminescence of tryptophan and histidine in Ru(bpy)3(2+)-KMnO4 aqueous solution

Amino acids with different chemical structures have different abilities in terms of increasing the intensity of chemiluminescence (CL) of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)3(2+)]. In a flow system, CL caused by the reaction between Ru(bpy)3(3+) and 15 amino acids was observed, but only tryptophan (Trp) and histidine (His) enhanced the intensity obviously, and so the CL of Trp and His and their molecular groups was studied. A calculation of the ionization potentials (IPs) of their N atom indicated that the CL intensities of these compounds depended on their IPs. In addition, the flow system was used for the determination of Trp and His, and the detection limits were 3 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) for His and 2.5 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) for Trp. The calibration curves for the two amino acids were 1.0 x 10(-7) to 5.0 x 10(-3) mol L(-1) for His and 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) for Trp. The proposed approach was applied to the determination of His in Ganoderma.     

Sensitive Determination of 2‐Methoxyestradiol in Pharmaceutical Preparations and Biological Fluids by KMnO4‐Na2SO3 Chemiluminescence System

A simple and novel flow‐injection chemiluminescence (FI‐CL) method was established for the determination of 2‐Methoxyestradiol (2‐ME) in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. The method was based on the significant enhancement of the CL from the KMnO₄‐Na₂SO₃ reaction by 2‐ME in acidic medium. Under optimized conditions, the CL intensity was correlated linearly with concentration of 2‐ME in the range of 5.0 × 10^?8‐5.0 × 10^?6 M (r = 0.9995). The detection limit (3σ) of 2‐ME was 7.5 × 10^?9 M and the relative standard deviation was 0.8% at 5.0 × 10^?7 M 2‐ME (n = 8). The proposed method was successfully applied for the flow‐injection CL determination of 2‐ME in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids with the recoveries from 92.4 to 106.8%. The possible CL reaction mechanism was also discussed briefly.     

Second chemiluminescence behavior of Fe2+, Fe3+ and Cr3+ in the luminal-KMnO4 system.

A novel flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) method has been developed for the determination of three metal ions, namely Fe2+, Fe3+ and Cr3+, based on the second CL (SCL) signal of the mixture of luminal with KMnO4 in a sodium hydroxide medium by the catalysis of Fe2+, Fe3+ or Cr3+. The possible CL mechanism of the systems, the influencing factors, and the optimum conditions for the reactions were investigated based upon the kinetic curve of the CL reaction, CL spectra, UV-visible spectra and some other experiments. Under the optimum conditions, the SCL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of these metal ions in solution in the range of 0.10 - 100.00 mg l(-1) for Fe(2+), 0.50 - 7.50 and 7.50 - 200.00 mg l(-1) for Fe3+, 0.01 - 0.25 and 0.25 - 10.00 mg l(-1) for Cr3+. The detection limits (3 sigma/s) were 9.87 x 10(-6) g l(-1), 2.71 x 10(-6) g l(-1) and 5.25 x 10(-7) g l(-1) for Fe2+, Fe3+ and Cr3+, respectively.     

Effect of gold nanoparticle as a novel nanocatalyst on luminol-hydrazine chemiluminescence system and its analytical application

In this work the catalytic role of unsupported gold nanoparticles on the luminol–hydrazine reaction is investigated. Gold nanoparticles catalyze the reaction of hydrazine and dissolved oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide and also catalyze the oxidation of luminol by the produced hydrogen peroxide. The result is an intense chemiluminescence (CL) due to the excited 3-aminophthalate anion. In the absence of gold nanoparticles no detectable CL was observed by the reaction of luminol and hydrazine unless an external oxidant is present in the system. The size effect of gold nanoparticles on the CL intensity was investigated. The most intensive CL signals were obtained with 15-nm gold nanoparticles. UV–vis spectra and transmission electron microscopy studies were used to investigate the CL mechanism. The luminol and hydroxide ion concentration, gold nanoparticles size and flow rate were optimized. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of hydrazine in boiler feed water samples. Between 0.1 and 30 μM of hydrazine could be determined with a detection limit of 30 nM.     

Sensitive assay for catecholamines in pharmaceutical samples and blood plasma using flow injection chemiluminescence analysis.

A rapid and sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) method using flow injection analysis was described for the determination of three catecholamines: dopamine, adrenaline and dobutamine, based on their greatly enhancing effects on the CL reaction of luminol-potassium periodate in basic solutions. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration graphs relating the increase of CL intensity to the concentration of the analytes were linear. The present method allows for the determination of dopamine, adrenaline, and dobutamine over the range of 1.0 x 10(-10) - 1.0 x 10(-7) g/ml. The relative standard deviations for measurements (n=11) of dopamine, adrenaline and dobutamine were 2.9, 2.3 and 1.8% when the concentrations of three catecholamines were at 1.0 x 10(-9) g/ml, respectively. The detection limits of the method were 2.0 x 10(-11) g/ml dopamine, 1.0 x 10(-11) g/ml adrenaline and 4.0 x 10(-11) g/ml dobutamine. The method was successfully applied to the determination of three catecholamines in pharmaceutical samples and blood plasma.     

Flow-injection chemiluminescence sensor for determination of isoniazid in urine sample based on molecularly imprinted polymer

In this paper, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) of isoniazid is synthesized through thermal radical copolymerization of metharylic acid (MAA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in the presence of isoniazid template molecules. A novel flow injection chemiluminescence sensor for isoniazid determination is developed by packing the isoniazid-MIP into the flow cell as recognition elements. Isoniazid could be selectively adsorbed by the MIPs and the adsorbed isoniazid was sensed by its great enhancing effect on the weak CL reaction between luminol and periodate which were mixed in the flow cell. The enhanced CL intensity is linear in the range 2x10(-9) to 2x10(-7) g/mL and the detection limit is 7x10(-10) g/mL (3sigma) isoniazid with a relative standard deviation 2.8% (n=9) for 8x10(-8) g/mL. The sensor is reversible and reusable. It has a great improvement in sensitivity and selectivity for CL analysis. As a result, the sensor has been successfully applied to determination of isoniazid in human urine. At the same time, the binding characteristic of the polymer to isoniazid was evaluated by batch method and the dynamic method, respectively.

Quantification of dibromodimethylhydantoin disinfectants in water by chemiluminescent method.

Quantification of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) was studied by its chemiluminescence (CL) reaction with luminol in an alkaline medium. The stability of DBDMH, 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) and 1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (BCDMH) in water was initially assessed by its CL reaction capability. The results indicated that the hydrolysis process was critically dependent on the types of reagents and their pHs. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation with CL detection procedure was applied to the DBDMH solution. It was found that at least 3 species in the aqueous DBDMH solution could oxidize luminol to give luminescence: one of them was confirmed to be hypobromite and the others could be the unhydrolyzed or active oxygen produced in the hydrolysis reaction. Finally, a flow-injection chemiluminescent method was proposed for the determination of DBDMH. The concentration of the analyte showed a linear relationship with the CL intensity in the range of 1.2x10(-10) to 1.0x10(-6) mol dm-3 and the detection limit was as low as 6.2x10(-11) mol dm-3. The relative standard deviation (RSD) is 1.7% (n=9) for 2.8x10(-7) mol dm-3 DBDMH.
