During the last two decades, the use of chemiluminescence (CL) in liquid phase has provided a well-established and widely applied spectrometric branch of Analytical Chemistry. The versatility of this technique permits the determination of a great variety of species that can participate in a given CL reaction, such as CL precursors, oxidants, catalysts, inhibitors or derivatized molecules, the CL emission being proportional to the concentration of these substances. Due to its simplicity, low cost and its often high sensitivity and selectivity, CL-based emission has become a useful detecting tool in flow injection, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE).
