The state of the art in flow-chemiluminescence (flow-CL) technique for automated pharmaceutical analysis is reviewed. Flow-CL approaches have become powerful and promising tools for pharmaceutical screening in recent years due to their simplicity, low cost and high sensitivity. Because of these advantages, these methods have been widely used for pharmaceutical analysis in recent years. The literature reviewed covers papers of analytical interest that appeared between 2007 and mid-2012 and have been divided into several sections based on fundamental types of CL systems employed. Furthermore, entries have been summarized alphabetically in tabular form giving details of analytical figures of merit of the methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
