Abstract

The general research objectives lie in the development of new approaches to improve chemical analysis in the area of bioanalytical chemistry. More specifically this thesis is focused on the development and application of new methodologies and instrumentation involving two potentially powerful techniques: 1) Chemiluminescence-a spectroscopic technique in which the generation of fluorescence from the electronically excited state of the molecule is provided by a chemical reaction and 2) Capillary electrophoresis-a separation technique in which small ions as well as large biomolecules can be separated with high efficiency within a narrow capillary under the influence of high voltage.
