In this paper, a sensitive flow injection chemiluminescence system luminol-myoglobin was described for determining femtogram nitrite. Nitrite bound myoglobin producing the ferric heme nitrite complexes, which catalyzed the electron transfer of luminol to myoglobin leading to fast chemiluminescence. The chemiluminescence intensity in the presence of nitrite was remarkably enhanced compared with that in the absence of it. Under the optimum reaction conditions the chemiluminescence increment produced was proportional to the concentration of nitrite in the range of 0.05 pg ml(-1)-1.0 ng ml(-1) (R-2=0.9991), with a detection limit (3 sigma) of 20.0 fg ml(-1). At the flow rate of 2.0 ml min(-1), the whole process including sampling and washing could be completed in 0.5 min offering the sampling efficiency of 120 h(-1) accordingly, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 2.60% (n = 5). It was satisfactory for the application to determine nitrite in human urine samples, and the possible mechanism was proposed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
