Evaluation of an Enzymatic Method For Determination of Glucose In Whole Blood Using Flow Injection Analysis With Detection By Chemiluminescence

Determination of carbohydrates as their 3-aminophthalhydrazide derivatives by capillary zone electrophoresis with on-line chemiluminescence detection

A method based on pre-capillary derivatization with luminol (3-aminophthalhydrazide) for carbohydrate analysis using capillary electrophoresis with on-line chemiluminescence (CL) detection was developed. The derivatives of seven monosaccharides were separated and detected by using 200 mM borate buffer containing 100 mM hydrogen peroxide at pH 10.0 as separation electrolyte and 25 mM hexacyanoferrate in 3 M sodium hydroxide solution as post-capillary chemiluminescence reagent with separation efficiencies ranging from 160,000 to 231,000 plates per metre. The minimum amount of carbohydrate derivatized was 2 pmol (corresponding to the concentration of 2 microM). The method also provided a linear response for glucose in the concentration range of 0.1-250 microM with a mass detection limit of 420 amol or a concentration detection limit of 0.1 microM. Preliminary work using the CE-CL format to determine glucose in a rat brain microdialysis sample is presented as a typical case.

Simultaneous determination of glucose and 1-deoxyglucose in serum by anion-exchange chromatography with an immobilized pyranose oxidase reactor

A liquid chromatographic system for the determination of glucose and 1-deoxyglucose in serum using an immobilized pyranose oxidase reactor and chemiluminescence detection is described. Separation was achieved on a TSK gel SAX column (2 cm x 4 mm I.D.) with an eluent of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. Serum was diluted 30-fold with 0.1 M NaOH. Sample solution (50 microliters) was injected into the system. The hydrogen peroxide produced was detected by measuring the chemiluminescence emitted on admixing with luminol and potassium hexacyanoferrate (III). The calibration graphs were linear from 1 to 600 microM glucose and from 0.6 to 400 microM 1-deoxyglucose; the detection limits for glucose and 1-deoxyglucose were 0.5 and 0.3 microM, respectively. The sample throughput was 10/h. The immobilized enzyme reactor was stable for at least 2 months.

Flow injection assays with chemiluminescence and bioluminescence detection--a review

This paper reviews publications that combine the technique of flow injection (FI) with chemiluminescence (CL) and bioluminescence (BL) detection, from the earliest papers in 1979/80 to mid-1992, and refers exclusively to reactions occurring in solution. Air-segmented systems and liquid chromatography with CL detection are not considered unless FI has been used to pre-optimize the system. The applications have been categorized in terms of the type of CL reaction; there are separate entries for luminol, peroxyoxalate, other CL reactions and BL reactions. Each of the four sections includes a table of applications that lists the analyte, the nature of the reaction, the sample matrix and the limit of detection.
