Ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays have been widely applied in biosensing because of eliminated outside interferences and improved reliability in detection. In order to construct ratiometric ECL biosensors with high sensitivity and reliability, it is critical to find two signal emitters with suitable applied potentials or emission wavelengths. This review aims to discuss recent advances and trends of ratiometric ECL biosensors in terms of ECL materials and corresponding ratiometric sensing approaches. We focus on four types of ratiometric ECL biosensors based on particular ECL materials and ratiometric sensing strategies.

A novel dual-mode electrochemiluminescence (ECL)/photoelectrochemistry (PEC) biosensor was developed for sensitive serotonin detection. In this system, the PEC signal was produced by CdS quantum dots (QDs), while the ECL signal originated from L-Au NPs (luminol decorated Au nanoparticles), thereby avoiding the external interference and signal fluctuations that typically arose from using the same materials for both signals. The presence of target serotonin initiated the non-enzymatic toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR) on magnetic bead (MB), which was followed by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) on the sensing interface, leading to the aggregation of many L-Au NPs.

A ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptamer-based sensing platform was fabricated for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) determination. Activated CdS nanocrystals/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CdS/MCNTs) and luminol-Pt/PAMAM nanocomposites (L-Pt/PAMAM NCs) were synthesized and used as cathodic and anodic ECL emitters, respectively. Amino group-modified aptamers were assembled on carboxylated magnetic beads, followed by hybridization with probe DNA functionalized L-Pt/PAMAM NCs.

Patulin (PAT) is a widespread fruit toxin. Trace-level PAT exposure can cause serious harm to human health. Herein, a multimodal PAT aptasensor was designed based on Ru(bpy)-based metal organic framework composited hydrogel (RuMOF@hydrogel) and versatile banana peel-derived carbonized polymer dots (BPPDs).

Sensitive, reliable, and specific detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) is a key objective for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Here, a ratiometric fluorescent/electrochemiluminescent (FL/ECL) sensor was designed for the dual-mode detection of miRNA-122, a hepatocellular carcinoma biomarker. The strong ECL emission was achieved from imine-linked covalent organic framework (COF-LZU1) accelerator enriched Ru(bpy) molecules (Ru@COF-LZU1), which was applied as a delimited reaction micro-reactor to enhance ECL emission.
