Chemiluminescent diagnostic technique to distinguish normal and abnormal tissues

Luminol induced chemiluminescence are compared from normal and abnormal bovine tendon tissues. Presented is an in-vitro measurement technique that uses cooled ultra-sensitive photomultiplier tube as a detector and employs a photon counter to record the photons as counts/second. The chemiluminescent...

Description
Summary:Luminol induced chemiluminescence are compared from normal and abnormal bovine tendon tissues. Presented is an in-vitro measurement technique that uses cooled ultra-sensitive photomultiplier tube as a detector and employs a photon counter to record the photons as counts/second. The chemiluminescent peaks and the area under the curve are compared for both cases of tissues. This technique may be useful to diagnose tissue abnormalities and also to provide some insights into the role of oxygen radicals in tissues.
