Popis: A highly sensitive FIA system for chemiluminometric determination of reduced coenzyme, NADH, was developed, using immobilized NADH oxidase from Brevibacterium ammoniagenes . The enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of NADH generating hydrogen peroxide which emitted chemiluminescence when mixed with luminol and potassium ferricyanide. The immobilized enzyme reactor was a mini-column, measuring 1 or 2 mm in inner diameter and 20 mm in length, and the sample volume was only 1 μl per assay, with a feeding speed of one sample per min and a lowest detection limit of 10 pmol NADH. A FIA system was also developed for the determination of magnesium in human serum, using an enzyme column reactor with simultaneously coimmobilized hexokinase, D-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and NADH oxidase. The performance of the system was as satisfactory as a routine colorimetric assay, but with much higher sensitivity.
