Gas Phase Chemiluminescence

An ozone-induced chemiluminescence detector for fast determination of isoprene is at Hills-Scientific.

Isoprene is a naturally emitted hydrocarbon produced by leafy plants and plays an important role in the concentration of other biospherically important components such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and organic peroxides.
This site shows images of the instrument, calibration and response curves, bibliographic references, and figures of merit/specifications.

Gas phase determination of NO_x is described here (half way down page) and here.

Solution Phase Chemiluminescence

Simon Lewis' Group at Deakin University, Geelong, Australia have some neat flow injection and sequential injection analysis animations that used chemiluminescence detection. Especially beautiful solution phase chemiluminescence reactions are also there.

Some interesting suggestions about how to use chemiluminescence commercial products involving peroxyoxylate chemiluminescence compounds are available at Omniglow's commercial web site. The frequently asked question section here is especially good.

And a simple description of the way light sticks work is here. Here's another page, and this author also has the lightstick emission (CL) spectra of different colored light sticks. Sorry I can't get reagents to you for this reaction.

The History of Chemiluminescence

The Home Page of Richard Givens.

This person and his research group are probably more responsible than any other for the understanding of the kinetics of the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescent reaction.

Early publications and chemiluminescence methods are described here.

Chemiluminescence in immunoassays introduced here.

Bioluminescent uses are discussed here.
