Chemiluminescence technique for measuring reactive oxygen species

Abstract

Accurate assessment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations may help in the diagnosis of infertility. The chemiluminescence technique, which uses a luminometer to measure ROS, is a common method of assessment. A better understanding of the chemiluminescence technique will allow its proper application in reproductive medicine. A wide range of luminometers are available in the market, and laboratories should select the instruments that suit their individual needs.
