The Phe stock solution (1.0 × 10−2 mol/L) and luminal stock
solution (1.0 × 10−2 mol/L) were prepared and stored in refrig-
erator, respectively. The methanol, acetone, acetic acid, sodium
hydroxide and all the other chemicals used were of analytical
reagent grade obtained from Tianjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (China).
Doubly distilled water was used throughout the work.
