The present invention discloses a method for the measurement of hydride using a chemiluminescent compound, such as an acridinium compound. The source of hydride for the reduction of acridinium compound may be of chemical or biochemical origin, or the result of enzymatic catalysis. The chemical source of hydride, might be NaBH4. A biochemical source of hydride might be that derived from NADH, or NADPH, while an enzymatic source would be the class of oxidoreductases termed dehydrogenases which convert NADH or NADPH from NAD or NADP. Among applications for acridinium compounds as chemiluminescent indicators of hydride are diagnostic assays using dehydrogenases as reagents, indicators, diagnostic markers or as labels. Ethanol, for example, might be detected with acridinium ester chemiluminescence through the reaction of alcohol dehydrogenase on ethanol, said reaction producing NADH. As a label, dehydrogenase might be used in an ELISA for the detection of a specific analyte with acridinium ester providing the signaling response.
