Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a widely used analytical technique with the advantages of high sensitivity and low background signal. The recent and rapid development of electrochemical materials, luminophores, and optical elements significantly increases the ECL signals and, thus, ECL imaging with enhanced spatial and temporal resolutions is realized. Currently, ECL imaging is successfully applied to high-throughput bioanalysis and to visualize the distribution of molecules at single cells. Compared with other optical bioassays, no optical excitation is involved in imaging, so the approach avoids a background signal from illumination and increases the detection sensitivity. This review highlights some of the most exciting developments in this field, including the mechanisms, electrode designs, and the applications of ECL imaging in bioanalysis and at single cells and particles.

Background: Data from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (A4) trial (NCT02008357), including cognitively unimpaired participants with brain amyloid pathology on florbetapir F 18, demonstrates that levels of plasma P-tau217, as detected by an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay, is strong predictor of elevated cerebral amyloid on florbetapir PET in cognitively unimpaired individuals. Here we compare plasma P-tau217 measures over 12 weeks using a P-tau217 ECL immunoassay.
Method: A4 trial placebo-group participants who had their first baseline and first post-baseline plasma P-tau217 samples collected within 175 days of each other were included in these analyses.

Background: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a key biomarker for axonal injury providing diagnostic and prognostic value in many neurodegenerative diseases. The sensitivity of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassays has previously not been adequate to quantify plasma NfL levels in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we performed clinical evaluation of a recently developed ultra-sensitive plasma NfL ECL S-PLEX immunoassay in individuals with AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is nowadays a powerful technique widely used in biosensing and imaging, offering high sensitivity and specificity for detecting and mapping biomolecules. Screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) offer a versatile and cost-effective platform for ECL applications due to their ease of fabrication, disposability, and suitability for large-scale production. This research introduces a novel method for improving the ECL characteristics of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) through the application of CO laser treatment following fabrication.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for single-cell imaging owing to its unparalleled background-free imaging advantages. However, controlled intracellular ECL imaging remains challenging. Here, we developed a stimuli-responsive self-assembled DNA nanomachine that enables the ECL imaging of intracellular target biomolecules in single cells.
