✦ Synopsis
The chemiluminescent emission from the luminoI-HaOa-horseradish peroxidase system was enhanced between 2 and 80 times, during the first 5 min, by chemical indicators, such as phenolphthalein, cresolphthalein, phenol red, cresol red, benzidine and o-tolidine. Phenol derivatives showed emission maxima at pH 8.5, while aniline derivatives showed emission maxima at pH 10.5. The enhancers with a methyl group at the ortho or para position to the OH and NH2 groups in the benzene ring showed an inhibitory effect when their concentrations were increased.

The chemiluminescence of the luminol-H 2 O 2 -horseradish peroxidase system is increased by fluorescein. Fluorescein produces an enhancement of the luminol chemiluminescence similar to that of phenolphthalein, by an energy transfer process from luminol to fluorescein. The maximum intesity and the to
