Investigation of Instrument Parameters for the Application of Peroxyoxalate Cheminescence Detection to Microbore Chromatography

Abstract
Peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence generated by the reaction of an oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a fluorophor was evaluated as a detection system for microbore liquid chromatography. The results of studies on instrumental parameters show that the signal is increased with short reaction lines, increasing flow cell volume and enhanced response through detectors with improved optics.
