Abstract
Chemiluminescence detection was combined with capillary isoelectric focusing to perform protein analysis with high sensitivity. Luminol–H 2O 2 chemiluminescence was utilized, and heme proteins such as cytochrome c, myoglobin and peroxidase were analyzed. The proteins were focused by use of Pharmalyte 3-10 as ampholytes. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose was added to the sample solution in order to easily reduce protein interactions with the capillary wall as well as the electroendoosmotic flow. The focused proteins were transported by salt mobilization to chemiluminescence detection cell equipped with an optical fiber. The present method showed significantly high sensitivity and wide dynamic range; the detection limit for cytochrome c was 6·10 −9 M and the linear dynamic range was greater than two-orders of magnitude (up to 2·10 −6 M).
