Abstract:
1. A composition consisting essentially of: a chromophore, wherein the chromophore comprises at least one chromophore selected from the group consisting of rubrene, 9,10 bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene, 1,8-dichloro-9,10 bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene, anthracene, and an anthracene derivative; an oxalate ester, wherein the oxylate ester comprises at least one oxalate ester selected from the group consisting of bis(2-carboxypentyl oxy-3,5,6 trichlorophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate, bis(pentafluorophenyl)oxalate, bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)oxalate, and bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)oxalate; a peroxide, wherein the peroxide comprises at least one peroxide selected from the group consisting of 2,4-pentanedione peroxide, 2-butanone peroxide, ammonium persulfate, barium peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, calcium peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, di-tert-amyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, a hydrogen peroxide-urea adduct, lauroyl peroxide, lithium peroxide, magnesium peroxide, nickel peroxide, a nickel(II) peroxide hydrate, tetrabutylammonium salt, a phosphate-citrate buffer with sodium perborate, a phosphate-citrate buffer with urea hydrogen peroxide, potassium peroxodisulfate, potassium persulfate, sodium perborate monohydrate, sodium perborate tetrahydrate, sodium peroxide, sodium persulfate, strontium peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, area hydrogen peroxide, and zinc peroxide; a modulating agent, wherein the modulating agent consists essentially of an oximate that preferentially reacts with an analyte rather than the oxalate ester; and the analyte, wherein the oxalate ester preferentially reacts with the peroxide rather than the modulating agent in the presence of the analyte to form a peroxyoxalate intermediate, which reacts with the chromophore to produce a chemiluminescent signal.
