Published: April 2006

The presence of an ultrathin film of polyelectrolyte complex, formed by the multilayering method, on an electrode was shown to enhance the intensity of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) from the tris(2,2')bipyridylruthenium(II)/tripropylamine system. Platinum electrodes coated with up to 17 layers of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) or poly(vinylmethylpyridine), alternately layered with poly(styrenesulfonate), revealed significant differences in enhancement of ECL, depending on the identity of the multilayer. ECL following deposition of each layer showed an oscillating intensity of light emission, which alludes to the importance of surface and bulk charge. This effect, along with others, such as increased output with increasing tripropylamine concentration, was used to suggest a mechanism for enhanced ECL intensity at multilayer-coated electrodes.

Coordination-Based Site-Specific Labeling Strategy for Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Biosensing of Matrix Metalloproteinase 2.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is an important biomarker for some diseases. Herein, one first-case coordination-based site-specific labeling strategy is proposed for electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing of MMP-2 by employing an iridium(III) solvent complex as a signal reagent and a histidine (His)-containing peptide as a molecular recognition substrate. One ECL probe was prepared via coordination labeling of the His-containing peptide with one iridium(III) solvent complex ([(3-(2-pyridyl)benzoic acid)Ir(DMSO)Cl], Ir1-DMSO).

This study developed a dual-mode "on-off-on" sensor based on a bipyridine ruthenium metal-organic framework (Ru-MOF) and dual enzyme cleavage technology for the sensitive detection of the K-ras gene. The sensor combines electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) and fluorescence (FL) detection modes, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in detecting the K-ras gene through catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and dual enzyme cleavage reactions. Experimental results showed that the detection limits for the K-ras gene were 0.

Microbubbles, inside-out microdroplets, act as extraordinary microreactors to facilitate thermodynamically unfavorable reactions in bulk solutions of water. We explored the formation of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and its sustained regeneration at the interface of water-gas microbubbles. For this purpose, the chemiluminescence of luminol was recorded by a digital camera to map the intensity of blue light emission over the time of about 20 min.

Analysis of single cancer cells is critical to obtain accurate patient diagnosis and prognosis. In this work, we report the selective dielectrophoretic capture and electrochemical analysis of single melanoma cells at an array of interlocked spiral bipolar electrodes (iBPEs). Following dielectrophoretic capture, individual melanoma cells are hydrodynamically transferred into picoliter-scale chambers for subsequent analysis.
