Abstract:
A method for assaying superoxide (O. sub. 2. sup. -) or nitric oxide (NO) in an aqueous sample includes an initial step of trapping O. sub. 2. sup. - or NO in an emulsion or micellar suspension of a trapping solvent, then reacting the trapped analyte with an appropriate analytical reagent. A flow apparatus for carrying out the method is disclosed. Specific reaction conditions for using chemiluminescence to measure the analytes are also disclosed.
