Spectrophotometric Study of Luminol in Dimethyl Sulfoxide–Potassium Hydroxide

The spectrophotometric study of luminol (LH₂) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), DMSO-water solutions, and alkaline DMSO and DMSO-water solutions has been done, focusing on the effect of the KOH additon on LH₂ absorption and fluorescence properties. The absorption spectra indicate an acid-base equilibrium, and the luminol dianion (L^2–) formation at 3 × 10^–4 – 2.4 × 10^–3 M KOH. The decrease of the fluorescence intensity and the variation of the excitation spectra of LH₂-DMSO-KOH solutions with KOH concentration have been similarly explained. The acid-base process is reversible. The addition of HCl to the solution with 3.0 × 10^–3 M KOH leads to an increase of the fluorescence intensity to its highest value, observed in pure DMSO. The addition of HCl to the LH₂-DMSO solution leads to the decrease of the fluorescence intensity as a result of the LH⁺ ₃ cation formation. In LH₂-DMSO-water, the fluorescence band is shifted from 405 nm to 424 nm and increased in the intensity. In the presence of KOH (in LH₂-DMSO-water-KOH solution) a new band appears, with the maximum at 485 nm and the band at 405 nm decreased. The changes in fluorescence lifetimes also evidence the different chemical species formed.

Luminol chemiluminescence HPLC reaction detector for amino acids and other ligands

A detector for HPLC is based on suppression of chemiluminescence from the Cu(II)-luminol-peroxide reaction. Analytes which complex Cu(II) reduce the free Cu(II) concentration and thus the observed chemiluminescence intensity. The degree of chemiluminescence suppression is a measure of the analyte concentrations. Detection limits are in the range of 1 pmole-1 nmole for amino acids (both primary and secondary without derivatization), CN^–, amines, catecholamines, catechol, and aminoglycoside antibiotics. The detection approach is demonstrated with an ion-exchange separation of amino acids, a reverse phase separation of catecholamines, and an ion-pair separation of the three components of gentamicin C in commercial gentamicin sulfate.     

Modulated potential electrogenerated chemiluminescence of luminol and Ru(bpy) 3 2+

Chemiluminescence emission intensity is modulated by modulating the potential of a working electrode which is used to generate a key species in the electrogenerated Chemiluminescence (ECL) reaction. The emission is monitored synchronously using a lock-in amplifier. The reactions used in the characterization are luminol with hydrogen peroxide and tris(2,2-bipyridyl)ruthenium (II) (or Ru(bpy) ₃ ²⁺ ) with oxalate. Modulation widths of ± 50 mV yield maximum signals for luminol when centered at 0.45 V (vs Ag/AgCl) and for Ru(bpy) ₃ ²⁺ when centered at 1.05 V. The resulting signal decreases with increasing modulation frequency and shows that luminol/H₂O₂ is a faster ECL system than Ru(bpy) ₃ ²⁺ /oxalate. Working curves for luminol and for oxalate have essentially the same linear range and slope with the modulated potential approach as with a DC electrode potential. This approach provides capability for differentiating the analytical signal from constant background emission or stray light.

Determination of norfloxacin in pharmaceuticals,human serum,and urine using a luminol—dissolved oxygen chemiluminescence system

A sensitive chemiluminescence method, based on the enhancive effect of norfloxacin on the reaction between luminol and dissolved oxygen in a flow injection system, was proposed for the determination of norfloxacin. The increment of the chemiluminiscence intensity was proportional to the concentration of norfloxacin, giving a calibration graph linear over the concentration from 0.4 ng mL⁻¹ to 400.0 ng mL⁻¹ (r ² = 0.9988) with the detection limit of 0.1 ng mL⁻¹ (3 × σ _noise). At the flow rate of 2.0 mL min⁻¹, a complete determination of norfloxacin, including sampling and washing, could be accomplished in 30 s with the relative standard deviation lower than 3.0 %. The proposed method was applied successfully to determine norfloxacin in pharmaceuticals, human urine, and serum. Possible mechanism of the reaction was also discussed.     

Determination of Picogram-Levels of Acetylspiramycin in Human Urine and Serum by Flow Injection Chemiluminescence

A sensitive chemiluminescence method for the determination of acetylspiramycin is presented. It is based on the greatly enhancive effect of acetylspiramycin on the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide in the flow system. The increase in chemiluminescence intensity was linearly proportional to the acetylspiramycin concentration in the range from 10pg·mL^–1 to 2.0ng·mL^–1 (r²=0.9979). The detection limit was 3pg·mL^–1 (3). At a flow rate of 2.0mL·min^–1, the process of determination, including sampling and washing, could be performed in 0.5 min, and the relative standard deviations of seven replicates are less than 5.0%. The proposed method was applied successfully to the determination of acetylspiramycin in pharmaceutical preparations, human urine and serum without pre-treatment. It was found that the excretive ratio of acetylspiramycin reached its maximum 2.0 hours after having been administered orally, and the excretive ratio in 12.0 hours was 8.4.     

A Novel Enhancing Flow-Injection Chemiluminescence Method for the Determination of Glutathione Using the Reaction of Luminol with Hydrogen Peroxide

 A rapid flow-injection method with chemiluminescence (CL) detection is described for the determination of glutathione (GSH). The method is based on the CL reaction of luminol and hydrogen peroxide. GSH can greatly enhance the chemiluminescence intensity in 0.1 mol/L borax–sodium hydroxide buffer solution (pH = 9.7). The maximum CL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of GSH in the range 3.0 × 10⁻⁷–2.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L, and the detection limit was 6.8 × 10⁻⁸ mol/L. The relative standard deviation was 3.4% for 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L of GSH (n = 11). Received October 23, 2001; accepted June 18, 2002     

A Highly Sensitive and Selective Assay for Cysteine Using the Chemiluminescence Reaction of Luminol and Hydrogen Peroxide

A very simple, highly sensitive and selective chemiluminescence (CL) method was established for the determination of cysteine. This method is based on the fact that the CL reaction of luminol and hydrogen peroxide can be greatly enhanced by cysteine. The CL intensities at maximum light emission were linearly correlated with the concentration of cysteine over the range of 2.0×10^–8–6.0×10^–6molL^–1 with a detection limit of 7.5×10^–9molL^–1. The relative standard deviation was 1.7% for the determination of 1.0×10^–7molL^–1 cysteine (n=9). The feasibility of utilizing the proposed method for the determination of total concentration of cysteine in human serum was examined.     

Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence (ECL) Determination of Ephedrine with a Self-Assembly Multilayer Ni(II)-Polyluminol Modified Electrode

By combining the layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique with the electrochemical polymerization method, multilayer Ni(II)-polyluminol films were modified on the surface of a vaseline-impregnated graphite electrode. It was found that, compared with an electrode modified by direct electrochemical polymerization, this modified electrode offered a suitable ECL reaction micro-environment created by the special multilayer films, which was beneficial to the ephedrine hydrochloride enhancing effect for luminol ECL intensity. The ECL enhancing effect of ephedrine hydrochloride on the electro-oxidation luminol was improved on this modified electrode. Based on this finding, a new sensitive ECL method was developed for ephedrine hydrochloride determination under the optimal conditions. At the same time, a new idea is proposed for improving the analytical performance of the luminol ECL system by modifying the ECL reaction micro-environment with the layer-by-layer self- assembly method. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the ephedrine hydrochloride concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10⁻⁸–7.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ was proportional to the enhanced ECL signal, and it offered an 8.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ detection limit for ephedrine hydrochloride.
