## Abstract A solid phase immunoassay for aldosterone using enhanced chemiluminescent detection has been developed. Monoclonal antibodies against aldosterone were used for the immune reaction and compared with polyclonal antibodies. Uniform Protein A coated polystyrene tubes were used as solid phas

β¦ Synopsis
Acetylcholine and choline chemiluminescent assays have limitations when these compounds are detected in small areas of mammalian nervous tissue. Use of 7-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1.2-dicarbonic acid hydrazide (7-DMAN), instead of luminol, gives a threefold increase in emitted light in the chemiluminescent assay for acetylcholine based on the coupled choline oxidase-peroxidase reaction. Addition of light enhancers, such as para-iodophenol or D-luciferin, to luminol or 7-DMAN further increased the light emission. Under these conditions the detection limit for acetylcholine was 650 femtomoles. This enhanced chemiluminescent assay should be convenient for the detection of in vivo and in virro acetylcholine release from mammalian neurons.

C-peptide is secreted in equimolar concentrations with insulin, and is often measured to assess pancreatic Ξ²-cell function.
