چکیده
Chemiand bioluminescence measurements have become extremely popular in recent years. They are often used to determine the amount of a specific unknown present in a sample, and in the last decade, have become extremely important in the study of gene expression and gene regulation. Chemiluminescence is the light emitted by a chemical reaction and bioluminescence is a type of chemiluminescence in which the chemical reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme.

Enhancer effect of fluorescein on the luminol-H2O2-horseradish peroxidase chemiluminescence: energy transfer process.
The chemiluminescence of the luminol-H2O2-horseradish peroxidase system is increased by fluorescein. Fluorescein produces an enhancement of the luminol chemiluminescence similar to that of phenolphthalein, by an energy transfer process from luminol to fluorescein. The maximum intensity and the total chemiluminescence emission (between 380 and 580 nm) of luminol with fluorescein was more than th...
متن کاملDetection of bioluminescence from individual bacterial cells: a comparison of two different low-light imaging systems.
Detection of very low light levels arising from individual cells of the naturally bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri as well as from a luminescence-marked Pseudomonas putida strain was achieved by the aid of two different camera systems. Using a liquid nitrogen-cooled slow-scan CCD (charge-coupled device) camera were able to detect single-cell bioluminescence within 1 min, and the picture...
متن کاملDifferent Aspects of Ultra-weak Photon Emissions: A Review Article
All biological samples emit ultra-low intensity light without any external stimulation. Recently, scientific communities have paid particular attention to this phenomenon, known as ultra-weak photon emission (UPE). UPE has been introduced in the literature as an alternative for biophoton, low-level chemiluminescence and ultra-weak bioluminescence, while it differs from ordinary bioluminescence,...
متن کاملChemiluminescent and bioluminescent assays as innovative prospects for mycotoxin determination in food and feed.
Mycotoxin contamination of food and feedstuffs is among the top priorities for human and animal safety. The currently used techniques for mycotoxin determination, either chromatography or ELISA, are unsuitable for routine in-field assessment. There is an urgent need for other accurate, simple and cost-effective techniques that can be used as a screening tool for a rapid estimation of mycotoxin ...
متن کاملIntroduction and History
Luminescent organisms have been observed throughout the ages. The cause of the luminescence wasn’t known until the advent of the microscope and modern science. In the oceans, sailors often remarked at the eerie glowing water generated by their vessels. Christopher Columbus, during his historic voyage across the Atlantic, noticed mysterious patches of luminescent light around the waters of his s...
