J. Chmura et J. Slawinski, ASSAY OF ANTIOXIDANTS BY THE QUENCHING OF THE ANTHRACENE-SENSITIZED ELECTROCHEMILUMINESCENCE, Journal of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence, 9(1), 1994, pp. 1-6
The kinetic and spectral characteristics (chemiluminescence and fluore
scence spectra) of ultraweak luminescence accompanying the electrolysi
s of a sodium citrate-methanol-dissolved O2 solution and its applicati
on for the determination of antioxidants were examined. The energy tra
nsfer-assisted luminescence sensitized by anthracene provides a fast a
nd sensitive assay for the determination of the concentration and kine
tic parameters of antioxidants and free radical scavengers.
