A flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of some estrogens by enhancement of luminol-hydrogen peroxide-tetrasulfonated manganese phthalocyanine reaction.
A novel flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method for the determination of estrogens is proposed, based upon its enhancing effect on the CL reaction of luminol with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by tetrasulfonated manganese phthalocyanine (MnTSPc) in alkaline solution. Under the selected experimental conditions, a linear relationship was obtained between the CL intensity and the concentration of estrone in the range of 1.0x10(-7) to 1.0x10(-6)mol/l, estradiol in the range of 9.0x10(-8) to 1.0x10(-6)mol/l and estriol in the range of 3.0x10(-7) to 2.0x10(-6)mol/l, respectively. The detection limits were 5.1x10(-8)mol/l for estrone, 7.2x10(-9)mol/l for estradiol and 6.5x10(-8)mol/l for estriol with a relative standard deviation of 2.8% for 5.0x10(-7)mol/l estrone, 2.4% for 1.0x10(-7)mol/l estradiol, and 3.1% for 7.0x10(-7)mol/l estriol (n=11). This method has been applied to the determination of estrogen in pharmaceutical injections and tap water with satisfactory results.
