Abstract

The two most common ways to induce chemiluminescence in purely organic, nonbiological systems are to treat either oxalate esters or luminol derivatives with basic hydrogen peroxide.[1, 2] Both these types of mixtures emit light at relatively short wavelengths, which are not ideal for applications in biotechnology. Luminol, for instance, emits in the range 420– 450 nm, depending on the solvent media.[3] Intimate mixtures of oxalate esters or luminol,[ ...
