ABSTRACT

McGown, 1966; Rendell, 1987; Schulman, 1977). Several

recent series and reviews have focused on state-of-the-art

developments and current trends in luminescence instru-

mentation, techniques, and applications (Baeyens et al.,

1991; Cline Love and Eastwood, 1985; Dewey, 1991;

Eastwood, 1983; Eastwood and Cline Love, 1988;

Ichinose et al., 1991; Lakowicz and Thompson, 2001;

Schulman, 1985; Warner and McGown, 1991; Wehry,

1975; Wolfbeis, 1993). The biennial Fundamental

Reviews issue of Analytical Chemistry contains a review

of molecular luminescence spectrometry that focuses on

recent developments in theory, instrumentation, and appli-

cations (Agbaria et al., 2002).
