Recent analytical developments using chemiluminescence in solution.
The rapid growth of analytical methods which utilize chemiluminescent techniques reflects their many advantages relative to conventional procedures. Measurement of light emission is simple and rapid and extremely high sensitivities may be achieved with inexpensive instrumentation and without resort to preconcentration. As a consequence, attention is now being directed towards expanding the scope of chemiluminescent analyses, both by study of previously unexploited fight-emitting processes and by modification to determine specific analytes of interest. This review describes the requirements and methodology, presents newer applications of established procedures and considers the potential of some new systems for chemiluminescent analysis.
