We describe a simple, solid-phase chemiluminescence immunoassay for progesterone in 10 microL of unextracted serum ("direct" assay). Danazol at pH 8.0 is included (100 ng per tube) to displace progesterone from binding proteins in serum. A progesterone-11 alpha-hemisuccinyl-aminobutylethyl isoluminol conjugate serves as the chemiluminescent ligand marker and homologous antiprogesterone IgG cova...

In this study, it was observed that addition of vitamin C (vit C) to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) by cupric ions (Cu2+) could result in the formation of singlet oxygen (1O2). In experiments, 1O2 was detected by chemiluminescence method using a Cypridina luciferin analog, 2-methyl-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-3, 7-dihydroimidazo [1, 2-a] pyrazin-3-one (MCLA), as a selective and sensitive che...

A porous polymer monolithic column for solid-phase microextraction and chemiluminescence detection was integrated into a simple microfluidic chip for the extraction and determination of catechins in green tea. The porous polymer was prepared by poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) and modified with ethylenediamine. Catechins can be concentrated in the porous polymer monolithic...

Chemiluminescence (CL) of a cyclometallated iridium (III) complex {tris[1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)phthalazine]iridium(III)} in the presence of potassium permanganate and oxalic acid is reported for the first time. Cysteine exhibits sufficient enhancing effect on the CL generated from the cyclometallated iridium(III) complex, which make it possible for the sensitive detection of ...

A sensitive and selective chemiluminescence method was developed to determine ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in water samples. It was observed that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) catalyzed chemiluminescence (CL) reactions of permanganate-aldehydes which underwent an enhancement effect in the presence of iron(III) ions (Fe(3+)). This effect is more remarkable in the presence of EDTA, and a h...

We describe a novel platform technology for both significantly enhancing and obtaining chemiluminescence signatures "on-demand", subsequently named Microwave-Triggered Metal-Enhanced Chemiluminescence. By combining the use of silver nanoparticles to plasmon enhance chemiluminescence with the use of low power microwaves to localize heating around the nanostructures, we can both optically amplify...

Luminol-mediated chemiluminescence in neutrophils is stimulated by Sendai virus and by influenza virus; Lettré cells also exhibit chemiluminescence (less than 10% of that of neutrophils), which is stimulated by Sendai virus and by influenza virus. Virally induced permeability changes are not responsible for chemiluminescence, since (i) extracellular Ca2+ inhibits permeability changes but stimul...

A simple, fast and sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CE) strategy combined with chemiluminescence (CL) detection for analysis of ofloxacin (OF) enantiomers was established in the present work. Sulfonated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was used as the chiral additive being added into the running buffer of luminol-diperiodatocuprate (III) (K5[Cu(HIO6)2], DPC) chemiluminescence system. Under the optimum...
