Abstract
Stable, enzymatically triggered chemiluminescent 1,2-dioxetanes with improved water solubility are provided. Dioxetanes further instituted with two or more water-solubilizing groups disposed on the dioxetane structure provide superior performance by eliminating the problem of reagent carryover when used in assays performed on capsule chemistry analytical systems. Compositions comprising a dioxetane with two or more water-solubilizing groups, a non-polymeric cationic surfactant enhancer and optionally a fluorescer, for providing enhanced chemiluminescence are also provided.
