General description

Luminol is a chemiluminescent compound, which belongs to the class of cyclic acyl hydrazides. It exhibits chemiluminescence, when oxidized by oxidizing agents. Luminol may be associated with nausea, vomiting and mucosa irritation in eyes and skin.[1]

Application

Luminol has been used in chemiluminescence assay.[2]

Features and Benefits

Used for chemiluminescence analysis of, for example, metal cations, blood, and glucococorticoids.
