Chapter 3 PRINCIPLE
3-1 Assay principle: CLEIA (Enzyme catalytic chemiluminescence immunoassay)
Luminescent assays are a common way to monitor an enzymatic reaction, where an enzyme
converts a substrate to a reaction product that emits photons of light instead of developing a visible
color. Luminescence is described as the emission of light from a substance as it returns from an
electronically excited state to ground state. When the excited intermediates return back to their
stable ground state, a photon is released, which then can be detected by the luminescent signal
instrument or observed by human eyes. Chemiluminescence is light characterized by a chemical
reaction. The chemiluminescent substance is excited by the oxidation and catalysis forming
intermediates. Chemiluminescence is powerful detection techniques superior to other detection
principles involving light, such as fluorometry, due to special features including low noise levels,
large detection range, and quick response.
