    Abstract:
    Chemiluminometric methods are described for the automated flow injection analysis of NADPH and NADH using an immobilized enzyme column reactor and serum magnesium. This application is for the clinical analysis of NADPH and NADH. The reactor for NADPH and NADH contains immobilized L-glutamate dehydrogenase and L-glutamate oxidase, and that for serum magnesium immobilized hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, L-glutamate dehydrogenase and L-glutamate oxidase. When the sample is introduced into the four-enzyme bioreactor, hydrogen peroxide is produced in proportion to the concentration of serum magnesium by the successive reactions. A co-immobilized hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase/glutamate dehydrogenase column reactor gave better efficiency compared with an enzyme column which was prepared by packing co-immobilized hexokinase/glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and immobilized glutamate dehydrogenase to make two layers. Magnesium in serum was determined with 1 microL of the sample without carry-over and for an assay time of approximately 15 s. The present method is sensitive (detection limit 0.1 nmol) because Mg2+ is recycled in a column, and gives perfect linearity of the data up to 3.0 mmol/L with satisfactory precision, reproducibility, and accurate reaction recoveries.
