ABSTRACT

The intent of this chapter is to describe the use of flow injection (FI), liquid chromatography (LC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE) with luminol electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and principally tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(III) (Ru(bpy)33+) ECL detection. Analytical applications involving other ruthenium complexes such as those with the corresponding phenanthroline ligand [Ru(phen)33+] are uncommon but will be mentioned occasionally. Instrumentation involving FI, LC, and CE will be considered; design of sensors will not be covered.
