Bw. Chwirot, ULTRAWEAK CHEMILUMINESCENCE ARISING FROM GLUTARALDEHYDE-INDUCED CROSS-LINKING REACTIONS OF BIOMOLECULES, Journal of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence, 12(5), 1997, pp. 233-239
Chemiluminescence arising from cross-linking reactions of glutaraldehy
de was examined. Our findings indicate that: (i) new reactions not yet
described in the literature may be responsible for a part of the obse
rved emissions; and (ii) this chemiluminescence may offer a new way of
optimizing procedures of fixing biological materials prepared for mic
roscopic examinations. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
