Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) microscopy shows promise as a technique for mapping chemical reactions on single nanoparticles. The technique's spatial resolution is limited by the quantum yield of the emission and the diffusive nature of the ECL process. To improve signal intensity, ECL dyes have been coupled with plasmonic nanoparticles, which act as nanoantennas. Here, we characterize the optical properties of hexagonal arrays of gold nanodisks and how they impact the enhancement of ECL from the coreaction of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate and tripropylamine. We find that varying the lattice spacing results in a 23-fold enhancement of ECL intensity because of increased dye-array near-field coupling as modeled using finite element method simulations.

Understanding the stability of single nanoparticles is crucial for optimizing their performance in various applications, including catalysis. In this study, we employed electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging to investigate the temporal stability of individual Au and Pt nanoparticles within precisely engineered arrays. Our results reveal significant differences in the stability of Au and Pt NPs.

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.
