Abstract A detector for HPLC is based on suppression of chemiluminescence from the Cu(II)-luminol-peroxide reaction. Analytes which complex Cu(II) reduce the free Cu(II) concentration and thus the observed chemiluminescence intensity. The degree of chemiluminescence suppression is a measure of the analyte concentrations. Detection limits are in the range of 1 pmole-1 nmole for amino acids (both primary and secondary without derivatization), CN−, amines, catecholamines, catechol, and aminoglycoside antibiotics. The detection approach is demonstrated with an ion-exchange separation of amino acids, a reverse phase separation of catecholamines, and an ion-pair separation of the three components of gentamicin C in commercial gentamicin sulfate.
