Abstract
ozone-based chemiluminescence detection (CLD) has been widely applied for determining nitric oxide (NO) and its derived species in many different fields, such as environmental monitoring and biomedical research. In humans CLD was applied to determine exhaled NO and NO metabolites in biological samples. The main advantages of CLD are high sensitivity and selectivity for quantitative analysis in a wide dynamic range. Combining CLD with analytical separation techniques like gas or liquid chromatography allows the analytes to be quantified with less disturbance from matrix components or impurities. Sampling techniques like microdialysis and flow injection analysis may be coupled to CLD with the possibility of real-time monitoring of NO. However, details and precautions in experimental practice need to be addressed and clarified to avoid wrongly estimating. Therefore, using CLD as a detection tool requires a deep understanding of sample preparation procedure and chemical reactions used for liberating NO from its derived species. In this review, we discuss the advantages and pitfalls of CLD for determining NO species, the different applications and combinations with other analytical techniques, and provide general practical notes for sample preparation. These guidelines should help other researchers understand CLD data and select the best procedure for detecting NO species.
