چکیده

Acridinium dimethylphenyl esters are highly sensitive chemiluminescent labels that are used in clinical diagnostics. Light emission from these labels is triggered with alkaline peroxide in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC). CTAC compresses emission times of these labels to <5 seconds and also increases overall light yield 3-4 fold. The observed enhancement in acridinium ester chemiluminescence (light yield) is quite sensitive to the polarity of the micellar interface. In the current study, we report the synthesis of new acridinium ester labels with fluorous tags of varying fluorine content and their chemiluminescence in the presence of cationic micelles of CTAC, anionic micelles of sodium perfluorooctanoate (SPFO) as well as mixed micelles of CTAC and SPFO. These studies indicate that in the presence of the mixed micelle system of CTAC and SPFO and at low mole fractions of SPFO, polarity of the mixed micelle interface is lower than that of CTAC leading to a greater enhancement of chemiluminescence for both fluorinated acridinium esters as well as a structurally analogous but non-fluorinated acridinium ester. Chemiluminescence stability of the fluorinated acridinium esters was either comparable to or better than the stability of the non-fluorinated acridinium ester. Non-specific binding to paramagnetic microparticles was higher for fluorinated acridinium esters requiring a surfactant wash to reduce their non-specific binding to the same extent as that observed for the non-fluorinated acridinium ester.

A comparison of chemiluminescent acridinium dimethylphenyl ester labels with different conjugation sites.

Chemiluminescent acridinium dimethylphenyl esters are highly sensitive labels that are used in automated assays for clinical diagnosis. Light emission from these labels and their conjugates is triggered by treatment with alkaline peroxide. Conjugation of acridinium ester labels is normally done at the phenol. During the chemiluminescent reaction of these acridinium esters, the phenolic ester is...

Chemiluminescent and bioluminescent techniques.

Light-emitting chemical reactions (chemiluminescence, CL) and biological reactions (bioluminescence, BL) have a diverse range of analytical applications but relatively few have been adopted by routine clinical laboratories. Advantages of CL and BL assays include sensitivity (attomole and sub-attomole detection limits), speed (signal generated in a few seconds and in some cases stable for severa...
