A chemiluminescent method for measurement of activated oxygen forms in biological fluids and homogenates

A chemiluminescent method for measuring the concentration of activated oxygen species (O-2 and H2O2) is described. Its main features are: high sensitivity (10(-9) M H2O2), its applicability to systems with high optical absorbance in the visible spectral region, a wide linear dynamic range, and the possibility for recording the kinetics of the processes, in which activated oxygen species are involved.
