## Abstract We present a rapid and sensitive flow injection method for the determination of arginine in dietary supplements. Detection was based on the chemiluminescence reaction of arginine with alkaline hypobromite. The response is proportional to analyte concentration over the calibration range,

โฆ Synopsis
The arginine electrode is based on a coupled enzymatic system consisting of arginase and urease with an ammonia gas sensor; conditions of immobilization are optimized. Arginine in the range 3 x lo-'-3
x 10e3 M gives a linear potential vs. log (concentration) plot with a response time of 5 min over the range specified. Several compounds structurally related to arginine do not interfere. The method is suitable for the determination of arginine in bovine insulin and human serum. Results compare well with values given in the literature or obtained by the conventional Sakaguchi method.

A continuous-flow procedure is described for the determination of L-arginine, based on its r\_-arginase catalyzed conversion to L-ornithine and urea. The urea formed is transformed into ammonia which is measured spectrophotometrically (629 nm) through indophenol blue formation. Arginase and urea are
