Analytical Chemistry Division (V)

COMMISSION ON SPECTROCHEMICAL AND OTHER OPTICAL PROCEDURES FOR ANALYSIS (V.4)

Number: 540/23/97

Title: Critical Assessment of Chemiluminescence and Bioluminescence Methods

Coordinator(s): N.H. Velthorst, T. Vo-Dinh,and G. Gauglitz

Remarks: I.5, V.1

Completion Date: 1999 - abandoned

Objective:
Chemiluminescence (CL) refers to emission from excited molecules generated as products of a chemical reaction. If this reaction is derived from biological organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and insects, the luminescence is called bioluminescence (BL). The dynamic field of CL and BL is experiencing considerable growth due to the advent of new instrumentation, sensitive detection methods, and efficient automation technology. A critical assessment of these methodologies according to established quality assurance standards will allow intelligent and accurate comparisons. This project will evaluate present methodologies according to existing standards. Specific technology recommendations will be made for a variety of applications.

Progress:
Outline approved. First draft will be circulated to V.4 members by end of 1997 via e-mail.

Project abandoned
