Important operating conditions for a new analytical technique, based on dye-sensitized reactions carried out in flowing streams, are evaluated. The photoredox reaction used is a form of triplet energy transfer wherein a colored organic dye absorbs light to generate the excited state triplet, which then abstracts electrons from a suitable substrate. The products of the reaction are colorless reduced dye and substrate oxidation products; spectrophotometric measurement of dye photobleaching is employed. The rate and stoichiometry of photoredox reactions are dramatically affected by the structures of dye and substrate used, dissolved oxygen, and reaction pH. Other important parameters, largely associated with the apparatus used, are dyecarrier flow rate, photolysis source power, and reaction temperature. Data for DCPA measurements, using Methylene Blue and Rose Bengal, are reported for the model substrates ascorbic acid, epinephrine, nicotine, and caffeine. Appropriate operating conditions yield low micromolar limits-of-detection and 1 YO precision.
