Homemade Chemiluminescent Protocols?

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

Hi!

I just had started working with Amersham'S ECL reagent when I cam 
across your post. I'm using up the last drops of the bottles so it 
came just in the right moment.
Did you compare your receipe (is there a ref. for that?) to 
commercially available kits (e.g. Amersham)? All I want to do is 
detecting peroxidsase labelled secondary antibodies. Should be right 
for that, doesn't it? Seems that one can make 100s of liters of 
reagent just for the price of 1 kit.

Thanks for contributing!

Wolfgang
