Flow Injection Determination of Sugars by Combining Immobilized Enzyme Reactors and Chemiluminescence Detection

Chemiluminescence has long been known as a sensitive means of detection, but analytical applications have been limited due to a lack of selectivity. There has been much interest in recent years in combining chemiluminescence detection with the inherent selectivity of enzyme reactions. The determination of glucose by enzymatic oxidation in the presence of glucose oxidase to produce gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and subsequent detection of the hydrogen peroxide produced by chemiluminescent reaction with luminol has been widely used.
