This paper described a new immunoassay method by capillary electrophoresis with enhanced chemiluminescence (CL) detection system based on luminol-hydrogen peroxide reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxides (HRP). Using para-iodophenol as a CL enhancer, the detection limit of about 1×10-12 mol/L for HRP was achieved, which corresponded to 1.32×10-5 U/mL. In optimal conditions, the free HRP-labeled CA125 antibody (Ab*) and the bound enzyme-labeled complex (Ab*-Ag) were well separated by capillary electrophoresis within 4 min. The assay was successfully used to determine the contents of CA125 in human sera, which were associated with ovarian cancer, and the recoveries of the standard addition experiments were 96 to 109 %.
A single molecule detection technique was developed by the combination of a single channel poly (dimethylsiloxane)/glass micro-fluidic chip and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). This method was successfully used to determine the proportion of two model components in the mixture containing fluorescein and the rhodamine-green succinimidyl ester.
