Design of a chemiluminescent and bioluminescent photometer.
An apparatus for chemi- and bioluminescence measurements is described. The main features are in high sensitivity: for example, 5 10(-12) M adenosine triphosphate, 5 10(-7) M glucose, 2 10(-9) M perhydrol and 4 10(-13) M peroxidase are easily detected; its fast mixing time and the possibility of injecting a reactant, at any time, enabling kinetic studies. Moreover, its compactness and 12 V battery supply allow measurements outside of laboratories.
