Abstract: A sensitive chemiluminescence method, based on the enhancive effect of norfloxacin on the reaction between luminol and dissolved oxygen in a flow injection system, was proposed for the determination of norfloxacin. The increment of the chemiluminiscence intensity was proportional to the concentration of norfloxacin, giving a calibration graph linear over the concentration from 0.4 ng mL−1 to 400.0 ng mL−1 (r 2 = 0.9988) with the detection limit of 0.1 ng mL−1 (3 × σ noise). At the flow rate of 2.0 mL min−1, a complete determination of norfloxacin, including sampling and washing, could be accomplished in 30 s with the relative standard deviation lower than 3.0 %. The proposed method was applied successfully to determine norfloxacin in pharmaceuticals, human urine, and serum. Possible mechanism of the reaction was also discussed.
