We developed a sensing strategy that mimics the bead-based electrogenerated chemiluminescence immunoassay. However, instead of the most common metal complexes, such as Ru or Ir, the luminophore is luminol. The electrogenerated chemiluminescence of luminol was promoted by in situ electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide at a boron-doped diamond electrode. The electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide was achieved in a carbonate solution by an oxidation reaction, while at the same time, microbeads labelled with luminol were deposited on the electrode surface. For the first time, we proved that was possible to obtain light emission from luminol without its direct oxidation at the electrode. This new emission mechanism is obtained at higher potentials than the usual luminol electrogenerated chemiluminescence at 0.3-0.5 V, in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide production on boron-doped diamond at around 2-2.5 V (vs Ag/AgCl).

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.
