Abstract
A chemiluminescent analytical method which comprises using a suitable catalyst in a reaction with luminol or a substituted luminol and a perborate in an aqueous solvent and detecting and measuring luminescence produced by the reaction is described. In the method, the aqueous solvent comprises a non-luminescent chelating agent for chelation of an electron-deficient boron atom in the perborate.
Claims10
A chemiluminescent analytical method which comprises using a enzyme catalyst in a reaction with luminol or a substituted luminol and a perborate in an aqueous solvent and detecting and measuring luminescence produced by the reaction characterized in that the aqueous solvent comprises a non-luminescent chelating agent for chelation of an electron-deficient boron atom in the perborate.
A reagent which comprises perborate ions in an aqueous solvent characterized in that the aqueous solvent also comprises a non-luminescent chelating agent for chelation of electron-deficient boron atoms in the perborate ions.
A kit useful in a chemiluminescent analytical method which comprises in one or more parts a first reagent comprising luminol or a substituted luminol in aqueous solution and a second reagent comprising perborate ions in aqueous solution characterized in that the second reagent also comprises a non-luminescent chelating agent for chelation of electron-deficient boron atoms in the perborate ions.
