Photoluminescence and chemiluminescence methods of drug analysis.
The analysis of drugs in biological fluids requires sensitive, selective and convenient methods. Luminescence techniques provide extreme sensitivity and, alone or in conjunction with other methods, excellent selectivity. This paper assesses several recent developments in luminescence analysis, including the use of derivative and synchronous spectroscopy, luminescence immunoassays, room temperature phosphorimetry, and fluorescence excited by chemiluminescence energy transfer.
