J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:745-752. [PMID: 38955006 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The exploration of novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores with excellent ECL properties is a current research hotspot in the ECL field. Herein, a novel high-efficiency Ru-complex-free ECL emitter PyTS-Zr-BTB-MOL has been prepared by using porous ultrathin Zr-BTB metal-organic layer (MOL) as carrier to coordinatively graft the cheap and easily available polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative luminophore PyTS whose ECL performance has never been investigated. Gratifyingly, the ECL intensity and efficiency of PyTS-Zr-BTB-MOL were markedly enhanced compared to both PyTS monomers and PyTS aggregates. The main reason was that the distance between pyrene rings was greatly expanded after the PyTS grafting on the Zr6 clusters of Zr-BTB-MOL, which overcame the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of PyTS and thus enhanced the ECL emission. Meanwhile, the porous nanosheet structure of PyTS-Zr-BTB-MOL could distinctly increase the exposure of PyTS luminophores and shorten the diffusion paths of coreactants and electrons/ions, which effectively promoted the electrochemical excitation of more PyTS luminophores and thus achieved a further ECL enhancement. In light of the remarkable ECL property of PyTS-Zr-BTB-MOL, it was employed as an ECL indicator to build a novel high-sensitivity ECL biosensor for microRNA-21 determination, possessing a satisfactory response range (100 aM to 100 pM) and an ultralow detection limit (10.4 aM). Overall, this work demonstrated that using MOLs to coordinatively graft the PAH derivative luminophores to eliminate the ACQ effect and increase the utilization rate of the luminophores is a promising and efficient strategy to develop high-performance Ru-complex-free ECL materials for assembling ultrasensitive ECL biosensing platforms.

Abstract
Autophagy is an early-stage response with self-degradation properties against several insulting conditions. To date, the critical role of autophagy has been well-documented in physiological and pathological conditions. This process involves various signaling and functional biomolecules, which are involved in different steps of the autophagic response. During recent decades, a range of biochemical analyses, chemical assays, and varied imaging techniques have been used for monitoring this pathway. Due to the complexity and dynamic aspects of autophagy, the application of the conventional methodology for following autophagic progression is frequently associated with a mistake in discrimination between a complete and incomplete autophagic response. Biosensors provide a de novo platform for precise and accurate analysis of target molecules in different biological settings. It has been suggested that these devices are applicable for real-time monitoring and highly sensitive detection of autophagy effectors. In this review article, we focus on cutting-edge biosensing technologies associated with autophagy detection.

Abstract
The novel TiO2 and Ni-MOF materials were synthesized and utilized for the detection of permethrin (PET). A highly sensitive solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed based on Ni-MOF@Ru(bpy)32+ and Au NPs@TiO2. In this sensing platform, Ru(bpy)32+-Tripropyl Amine (TPrA) was used as a luminescent signal, Ni-MOF acted as a carrier to carry more luminescent reagents Ru(bpy)32+. Au NPs acted as promoters facilitated electron transport and TiO2 could further enhance the luminescence intensity of the system by synergistical interaction with Au NPs. The possible mechanisms of signal amplification were investigated. The ECL intensity decreased significantly with increasing PET concentration, enabling the determination of PET amount through the observation of the change in ECL signal intensity (ΔI). Under optimal experimental conditions, the linear range of PET concentration from 1.0 × 10-11 mol L-1 to 1.0 × 10-6 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10-12 mol L-1 (3S/N). This method was successfully applied to determine PET in various vegetable samples.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), as the primary energy source, plays vital roles in many cellular events. Developing an efficient assay is crucial to rapidly evaluate the level of cellular ATP. A portable and integrated electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microsensor array based on a closed bipolar electrode (BPE) was presented. In the BPE unit, the ECL chemicals and oxidation/reduction were separated from the sensing chamber. The ATP aptamer was assembled with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in the sensing chamber. ATP capture made the aptamer disassemble from the ssDNA and facilitated DNA-templated silver nanocluster (Ag NC) generation by the target-rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction. The guanine-rich padlock sequence produced tandem periodic cytosine-rich sequences by the RCA, inducing Ag NC generation in the cytosine-rich region of the produced DNA strands through Ag+ reduction. The in situ Ag NC generation enhanced the circuit conductivity of the BPE and promoted the ECL reaction of [Ru(bpy)2dppz]2+/tripropylamine in the anodic reservoir. On this ECL microsensor, a good linear relationship of ATP was achieved ranging from 30 to 1000 nM. The ATP content in HepG2 cells was selectively and sensitively determined without complex pretreatment. The ATP amount of 25 cells could be successfully detected when a sub-microliter sample was loaded.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (Me NCs) have become a research hotspot in the field of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing analysis. This is primarily attributed to their excellent luminescent properties and biocompatibility along with their easy synthesis and labeling characteristics. At present, the application of Me NCs in ECL mainly focuses on precious metals, whose high cost, to some extent, limits their widespread application. In this work, Cu NCs with cathode ECL emissions in persulfate (S2O82-) were prepared as signal probes using glutathione as ligands, which exhibited stable luminescence signals and high ECL efficiency. At the same time, CaMnO3 was introduced as a co-reaction promoter to increase the ECL responses of Cu NCs, thereby further expanding their application potential in biochemical analysis. Specifically, the reversible conversion of Mn3+/Mn4+ greatly promoted the generation of sulfate radicals (SO4•-), providing a guarantee for improving the luminescence signals of Cu NCs. Furthermore, a short peptide (NARKFYKGC) was introduced to enable the fixation of antibodies to specific targets, preventing the occupancy of antigen-binding sites (Fab fragments). Therefore, the sensitivity of the biosensor could be significantly enhanced by releasing additional Fab fragments. Considering the approaches discussed above, the constructed biosensor could achieve sensitive detection of CD44 over a broad range (10 fg/mL-100 ng/mL), with an ultralow detection limit of 3.55 fg/mL (S/N = 3), which had valuable implications for the application of nonprecious Me NCs in biosensing analysis.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigens (CEAs) are prominent cancer biomarkers that enable the early detection of numerous cancers. For effective CEA screening, rapid, portable, efficient, and sensitive diagnosis approaches should be devised. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials that have received major attention for application in high-efficiency signal probes owing to their advantages such as large specific surface area, superior chemical stability and tunability, high porosity, easy surface functional modification, and adjustable size and morphology. Immunoassay strategies using antigen-antibody specific interaction are one of the imperative means for rapid and accurate measurement of target molecules in biochemical fields. The emerging MOFs and their nanocomposites are synthesized with excellent features, providing promising potential for immunoassays. This article outlines the recent breakthroughs in the synthesis approaches of MOFs and overall functionalization mechanisms of MOFs with antigen/antibody and their uses in the CEA immunoassays, which operate according to electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent and colorimetric techniques. The prospects and limitations of the preparation and immunoassay applications of MOF-derived hybrid nanocomposites are also discussed at the end.

Abstract
Developing new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminators with high stability, wide applicability, and strong designability is of great strategic significance to promote the ECL field to the frontier. Here, driven by the I···N bond, 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene (TFTI) and 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine (TMT) self-assembled into a novel halogen cocrystal (TFTI-TMT) through slow solution volatilization. Significant difference of charge density existed between the N atoms on TMT and the σ-hole of the I atoms on TFTI. Upon the induction of σ-hole effect, high-speed and spontaneous charge transferring from TMT to the σ-hole of TFTI occurred, stimulating exciting ECL signals. Besides, the σ-hole of the I atoms could capture iodine ions specifically, which blocked the original charge transfer from the N atoms to the σ-hole, causing the ECL signal of TFTI-TMT to undergo a quenching rate as high as 92.9%. Excitingly, the ECL sensing of TFTI-TMT toward I- possessed a wide linear range (10-5000 nM) and ultralow detection limit (3 nM) in a real water sample. The halogen cocrystal strategy makes σ-hole a remarkable new viewpoint of ECL luminator design and enables ECL analysis technology to contribute to addressing the environmental and health threats posed by iodide pollution.

Abstract
The accurate discernment and separation of chiral isomers with high precision remain a significant challenge in various industries and biological fields. In this investigation, an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) chiral recognition platform was devised to ascertain the presence of phenylalanine (Phe). Notably, a homochiral [Ni2(l-asp)2(bipy)] (Ni-LAB) was established as a dual-function coreactant accelerator and chiral recognition substrate. Ni-LAB facilitates the reaction between the coreactant (K2S2O8) and the luminescent entity 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracar-boxylic-l-cysteine (PTCA-cys), thereby enhancing the ECL luminescence efficiency and improving the sensitivity of the chiral sensor. The chiral recognition potential of Ni-LAB was assessed to differentiate between Phe chiral isomers, and the underlying mechanism was comprehensively elucidated. This system exhibited remarkable proficiency in detecting Phe enantiomers and precisely differentiating a single Phe enantiomer within a mixture, showcasing exceptional levels of selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. This study paves the way for the development of advanced chiral recognition systems, potentially revolutionizing the field of chiral sensing and discrimination.

The inadequacies of surgery tissue biopsy have prompted a transition to a less invasive profiling of molecular biomarkers from biofluids, known as liquid biopsy. Exosomes are phospholipid bilayer vesicles present in many biofluids with a biologically active cargo, being responsible for cell-to-cell communication in biological systems. An increase in their excretion and changes in their cargo are potential diagnostic biomarkers for an array of diseases, including cancer, and they constitute a promising analyte for liquid biopsy. The number of exosomes released, the morphological properties, the membrane composition, and their content are highly related to the physiological and pathological states. The main analytical challenge to establishing liquid biopsy in clinical practice is the development of biosensors able to detect intact exosomes concentration and simultaneously analyze specific membrane biomarkers and those contained in their cargo. Before analysis, exosomes also need to be isolated from biological fluids. Microfluidic systems can address several issues present in conventional methods (i.e., ultracentrifugation, size-exclusion chromatography, ultrafiltration, and immunoaffinity capture), which are time-consuming and require a relatively high amount of sample; in addition, they can be easily integrated with biosensing systems. A critical review of emerging microfluidic-based devices for integrated biosensing approaches and following the major analytical need for accurate diagnostics is presented here. The design of a new miniaturized biosensing system is also reported. A device based on hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation followed by luminescence-based immunoassay is applied to isolate intact exosomes and characterize their cargo as a proof of concept for colon cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
A novel sandwich-type "on-off" electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the determination of α(2,3)-sial-Gs was designed. Specifically, amino-functionalized porous silica nanoparticles (HPSNs-NH2) were first prepared and then decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form HPSNs-NH2@Au NP nanocomposite, which exhibited a strong ability to enhance ECL intensity with K2S2O8 as co-reactant (signal-on) and could immobilize the target-specific binding molecules of maackia amurensis lectin (MAL). Additionally, AuPdPt trimetallic nanoparticles were prepared to serve as a quenched ECL signal indicator (signal-off) with the ability of capturing the target non-specific binding molecules of 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) to form a signal label. The sandwich-type ECL biosensor was constructed based on the structure of MAL-α(2,3)-sial-Gs-APBA and achieved a determination toward α(2,3)-sial-Gs with a wide linear range from 1 fg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 and a low detection limit of 0.5 fg mL-1. Furthermore, the proposed ECL biosensor showed satisfactory selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for α(2,3)-sial-Gs determination.

Abstract
As a crucial indicator in food and water safety testing, the detection of Escherichia coli plays a significant role in maintaining environmental sanitation and promoting public health. Herein, based on the electrochemical activity characteristics of E. coli, we established an enhanced electrochemiluminescence aptasensor for E. coli analysis. This study presents a new method for accurate identification by utilizing a double aptamer recognition system. Specifically, a nano-cadmium sulfide (CdS) modified aptamer was used for primary labeling, while a second aptamer was immobilized on a graphene/chitosan composite electrode for re-capture. The use of two aptamers improves the accuracy of the identification process. Furthermore, the application of an electrode potential facilitates continuous electron transfer between the electrode and electrochemically active microorganisms, resulting in an enhanced electroluminescence signal in relation to the metabolic status. This strategy possesses better sensitivity, accuracy, and stability, demonstrating its potential for E. coli analysis.

Abstract
Herein, a Faraday cage-type electrochemiluminescence biosensor was designed for the detection of human breast cancer cell MCF-7. Two kinds of nanomaterials, Fe3O4-APTs and GO@PTCA-APTs, were synthesized as capture unit and signal unit, respectively. In presence of the target MCF-7, the Faraday cage-type electrochemiluminescence biosensor was constructed by forming a complex "capture unit-MCF-7-signal unit". In this case, lots of electrochemiluminescence signal probes were assembled and could participate in the electrode reaction, achieving a significant increase in sensitivity. In addition, the double aptamer recognition strategy was adopted to improve the capture, enrichment efficiency and detection reliability. Under optimal experimental conditions, the limit of detection was 3 cells/mL. And, the sensor could afford the detection of actual human blood samples, which is the first report on the detection of intact circulating tumor cells by the Faraday cage-type electrochemiluminescence biosensor.

Abstract
At the nanoscale, metals exhibit special electrochemical and optical properties, which play an important role in nanobiosensing. In particular, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on precious metal nanoparticles, as a kind of tag-free biosensor technology, has brought high sensitivity, high reliability, and convenient operation to sensor detection. By applying an electrochemical excitation signal to the nanoplasma device, modulating its surface electron density, and realizing electrochemical coupling SPR, it can effectively complete the joint transmission of electrical and optical signals, increase the resonance shift of the spectrum, and further improve the sensitivity of the designed biosensor. In addition, smartphones are playing an increasingly important role in portable mobile sensor detection systems. These systems typically connect sensing devices to smartphones to perceive different types of information, from optical signals to electrochemical signals, providing ideas for the portability and low-cost design of these sensing systems. Among them, electrochemiluminescence (ECL), as a special electrochemically coupled optical technology, has good application prospects in mobile sensing detection due to its strong anti-interference ability, which is not affected by background light. In this review, the SPR is introduced using nanoparticles, and its response process is analyzed theoretically. Then, the mechanism and sensing application of electrochemistry coupled with SPR and ECL are emphatically introduced. Finally, it extends to the relevant research on electrochemically coupled optical sensing on mobile detection platforms.

Abstract
Ensuring food safety continues to be one of the major global challenges. For effective food safety monitoring, fast, sensitive, portable, and efficient food safety detection strategies must be devised. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials that have attracted attention for use in high-performance sensors for food safety detection owing to their advantages such as high porosity, large specific surface area, adjustable structure, and easy surface functional modification. Immunoassay strategies based on antigen-antibody specific binding are one of the important means for accurate and rapid detection of trace contaminants in food. Emerging MOFs and their composites with excellent properties are being synthesized, providing new ideas for immunoassays. This article summarizes the synthesis strategies of MOFs and MOF-based composites and their applications in the immunoassays of food contaminants. The challenges and prospects of the preparation and immunoassay applications of MOF-based composites are also presented. The findings of this study will contribute to the development and application of novel MOF-based composites with excellent properties and provide insights into advanced and efficient strategies for developing immunoassays.

Abstract
A novel quench molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensor (MIECLS) based on a covalent organic framework composite (COF-300-Au) with enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal from CsPbBr3 quantum dots and cross-linked 3-thiopheneacetic acid functionalized AuNPs (3-TAA@AuNPs) was developed for the detection of the environmental pollutant benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). A composite material constructed of COF-300-Au with a large specific surface area served as the sensor's support substrate, providing more CsPbBr3 and imprint recognition sites. Electropolymerization was then employed to form an AuNPs three-dimensional imprinting layer with polythiophene cross-linked using BaP as a template and 3-TAA@AuNPs as a functional monomer. A specific cross-linked imprinting recognition effect was recorded on BaP along with the quenching effect of quinones. The density functional theory (DFT) evaluation of the binding mechanism between 3-TAA@AuNPs and BaP revealed powerful MIECLS toward the detection of BaP at concentrations ranging from 10-14 to 10-5M, with a detection limit of as low as 4.1 × 10-15 M.

Abstract
A novel self-enhancement molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor (MIP/M-Ag@MoS2-QDs/GCE) was constructed to detect thiabendazole (TBZ) in food. Melamine was used as template to chelate Ag+ to prepare composite nanomaterials (M-Ag). M-Ag possesses both ECL properties and coreactant catalytic properties, which can realize the self-enhancement of ECL luminophore. MoS2-QDs with excellent edge activity and electrochemical reaction catalytic activity were used to accelerate the reaction rate of the microsystem and further enhance the ECL intensity. The specific detection method of TBZ was established by investigating the ECL response mechanism and specific recognition mechanism of MIP/M-Ag@MoS2-QDs/GCE. The ECL intensity was proportioned to the lg C(TBZ) in the linear range 5 × 10-8 mol L-1-5 × 10-5 mol L-1 with a limit detection of 1.42 × 10-8 mol L-1. The satisfactory recovery rate (83.57%-101.03%) was obtained in sample analysis, which was in good agreement with the analysis result of HPLC.

Abstract
To ensure drinking water quality, the development of rapid and accurate analytical methods is essential. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor-based on the signal on-off-on strategy was developed to detect the water pollutant microcystin-LR (MC-LR). This strategy was based on a newly prepared ruthenium-copper metal-organic framework (RuCu MOF) as the ECL signal-transmitting probe and three types of PdPt alloy core-shell nanocrystals with different crystal structures as signal-off probes. Compounding the copper-based MOF (Cu-MOF) precursor with ruthenium bipyridyl at room temperature facilitated the retention of the intrinsic crystallinity and high porosity of the MOFs as well as afforded excellent ECL performance. Since bipyridine ruthenium in RuCu MOFs could transfer energies to the organic ligand (H3BTC), the ultra-efficient ligand luminescent ECL signal probe was finally obtained, which greatly improved the sensitivity of the aptasensor. To further improve the sensitivity of the aptasensor, the quenching effects of noble metal nanoalloy particles with different crystal states were investigated, which contained PdPt octahedral (PdPtOct), PdPt rhombic dodecahedral (PdPtRD), and PdPt nanocube (PdPtNC). Among them, the PdPtRD nanocrystal exhibited higher activity and excellent durability, stemming from the charge redistribution caused by the hybridization of Pt and Pd atoms. Moreover, PdPtRD could also load more -NH2-DNA strands because it exposed more active sites with a large specific surface area. The fabricated aptasensor exhibited outstanding sensitivity and stability in MC-LR detection, with a linear detection range of 0.0001-50 ng mL-1. This study provides valuable directions for the application of alloy nanoparticles of noble metals and bimetallic MOFs in the field of ECL immunoassay.

Abstract
This study aimed to design a sandwich electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor with double co-reaction accelerators for sensitively detecting squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA). First, silver orthophosphate (Ag3PO4) nanoparticles were modified on the surface of EuPO4 nanowires to improve their poor dispersibility/solubility. At the same time, EuPO4 was used as a co-reaction accelerator to catalyze S2O82- to produce more intermediates (SO4•-), significantly enhancing the ECL signal of Ag3PO4. Ag nanoparticles (AgNP) modified on Ag3PO4@EuPO4 composite nanomaterials were used not only as linkers of luminescence groups and biomarkers but also as a co-reaction accelerator to effectively enhance ECL signal. The designed ECL immunosensor displayed several advantages, including good stability and reproducibility. Under the optimal conditions, its linear range in detecting SCCA was 0.0001-50 ng·mL-1, the detection limit was 25 fg·mL-1 (S/N = 3), the recovery was 96.6-100.4%, and the relative standard deviation was less than 4.8%. It was successfully applied to detect SCCA in human serum.

Abstract
Improving the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance of luminophores is an ongoing research hotspot in the ECL realm. Herein, a high-performance metal-organic framework (MOF)-based ECL material (Ru@Ni3(HITP)2, HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) with conductivity- and confinement-enhanced ECL was successfully constructed by using conductive MOF Ni3(HITP)2 as the carrier to graft Ru(bpydc)34- (H2bpydc = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) into the channels of Ni3(HITP)2. Compared to Ru@Cu3(HITP)2 and Ru@Co3(HITP)2 with relatively low conductivity, the ECL intensity of Ru@Ni3(HITP)2 was prominently increased about 6.76 times and 18.8 times, respectively, which demonstrated that the increase in conductivity induced the ECL enhancement of the MOF-based ECL materials. What's more, the hydrophobic and porous Ni3(HITP)2 can not only effectively enrich the lipophilic tripropylamine (TPrA) coreactants in its channels to enhance the electrochemical oxidation efficiency of TPrA, but also provide a conductive reaction micro-environment to boost the ECL reaction between Ru(bpydc)33- intermediates and TPrA• in confined spaces, thus realizing a remarkable confinement-enhanced ECL. Considering the excellent ECL performance of Ru@Ni3(HITP)2, an ultrasensitive ECL biosensor was prepared based on the Ru@Ni3(HITP)2 ECL indicator combining an exonuclease I-aided target cycling amplification strategy for thrombin determination. The constructed ECL biosensor showcased a wide linear range from 1 fM to 1 nM with a low detection limit of 0.62 fM. Overall, the conductivity- and confinement-enhanced ECL based on Ru@Ni3(HITP)2 provided effective and feasible strategies to enhance ECL performance, which paved a promising avenue for exploring high-efficient MOF-based ECL materials and thus broadened the application scope of conductive MOFs.

Abstract
To develop an ultra-sensitive solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for detection of miRNA 24, three different forms of porphyrin metal-organic framework (MOF) nanomaterials with good biocompatibility were synthesized through small molecule ligand modulation. We investigated various properties of synthesized MOFs in the presence of different small molecule ligands. The as-obtained 2D MOF nanodisk exhibited high ECL intensity and outstanding stability in the presence of a co-reactant at low concentrations. We also synthesized zinc-based quantum dots (Zn-NGQDs) with excellent photovoltaic properties by doping zinc dithiothreitol (DTT-Zn) into quantum dots. Accordingly, an enzyme-free solid-state ECL biosensor for miRNA 24 based on the "on-off-on" signal conversion strategy was created. Dependent on the synergy between the luminophor 2D MOF and Zn-NGQDs, the biosensor achieves a wide linear range from 1.00 × 10-16 to 1.00 × 10-10 mol·L-1 and an exceedingly low detection limit of 0.03 fM. Furthermore, the ECL biosensor exhibits outstanding selectivity, repeatability, and stability. The method has great potential for investigating sensitive detection models for various biomolecules and the design of highly efficient MOF luminescent materials.

Abstract
A single-stabilizer-capped strategy is proposed for achieving highly efficient and surface-defect-involved electrochemiluminescence (ECL) from unary copper nanoclusters (NCs) via employing l-cysteine (Cys) as a capping agent of luminophore. The Cys-capped CuNCs (Cys-CuNCs) can be electrochemically injected with valence band (VB) holes and exhibit eye-touchable ECL processes around +0.95 and +1.15 V upon employing TPrA as a coreactant. Both accumulated ECL spectra and spooling ECL spectra demonstrated that the two ECL processes are of the same single waveband and spectrally identical to each other with the same maximum emission wavelength of 640 nm. Promisingly, ECL of the Cys-CuNCs/TPrA system is obviously red-shifted for ∼150 nm to PL of Cys-CuNCs, indicating that the bandgap-engineered routes for ECLs of Cys-CuNCs are completely blocked. The oxidative-reduction ECL process of the Cys-CuNCs/TPrA system is a kind of highly efficient, eye-visible, and single-color emission in surface-defect-involved route. The capping agent of Cys can enable the CuNCs/TPrA system with a stronger ECL than other thiol capping agents, so that Cys-CuNCs are utilized as ECL tags for sensitive and selective immunoassays, which exhibit a wide linear response range from 0.05 pg/mL to 0.5 ng/mL and a limit of detection of 0.01 pg/mL (S/N = 3) with carcinoembryonic antigen as the analyte. Moreover, both the luminophore Cys-CuNCs and conjugates Ab2-CuNCs can be safely stored in aqueous media without any protector, which is promising for the evolution and clinic application of metal NC ECL in the surface-defect-involved route.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) protein is considered to be a key biomarker that is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The level of Aβ, particularly its subtle fluctuation, indicates early neuropathological changes, which poses a considerable challenge in predicting AD, considering the detection limit of sensing technologies. Herein, a new label-free sensor based on luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was proposed by developing a close-packed monolayered-SiO2 array with gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) entrapped in their gaps as the basal electrode. The well-organized SiO2 NPs with a quasiphotonic crystal structure amplified the ECL signal via light scattering, while Au NPs amplified the signal by directly catalyzing luminol oxidation. Owing to the dual signal amplification, the proposed electrode furnished an ∼64-fold-intensified ECL signal of luminol as the sensing background. Further, the as-prepared ECL electrode served as the substrate to develop an aptasensor for the sensitive detection of Aβ. The inhibition of the ECL signal due to the suppressed diffusion of luminol to the sensor surface acts as an indicator to quantify the amount of Aβ. The transfer dynamics mechanism provides a label-free sensing strategy and facilitates the high sensitivity of the aptasensor for Aβ detection. Under optimal conditions, the developed aptasensor exhibits an ultrasensitive performance for Aβ with a very low limit of detection of 5 fM, providing a new prospect for clinical research on Aβ and a promising approach in the field of ECL sensing.

Abstract
A composite material MnCO3/poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA)/Ag with excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance and high biocompatibility was prepared by adding MnCO3 and PDDA to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). MnCO3/PDDA/Ag and Au@SiO2NPs were used as ECL donors and acceptors, respectively. Thus, an effective ECL-resonance energy transfer (RET) sensing platform was established. In a potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) medium, MnCO3 exhibited ECL emission with an ECL band appearing at 500-600 nm. In addition, Au@SiO2 nanoparticles showed a UV-visible absorption at 450-650 nm. The ECL emission spectra of MnCO3 overlapped with the absorption spectra of Au@SiO2NPs. The effective ECL quenching resulted in a good response to the concentration of Aβ42 in serum samples. The linear range was 5 fg ⋅ mL-1 to 100 ng ⋅ mL-1, and the detection limit was 2 fg ⋅ mL-1. The recovery ranged from 97.7% to 104%. The high-efficiency ECL-RET immunosensor has potential application in detecting human serum Aβ42 and other biomarkers, and can be used for the early screening of diseases.

Abstract
To determine the intrinsic effects of body elements on the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of metal nanoclusters (NCs), herein, a valence-state engineering strategy is developed to adjust the NCs' ECL with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stabilized AuNCs as a model, in which engineering the valence state of the Au body element, i.e., Au(0) and Au(I), is performed via successively reducing the precursor AuCl4- to Au(I) and Au(0) with BSA. The obtained BSA-AuNCs/N2H4 system leads to three anodic ECL processes at 0.37 (ECL-1), 0.85 (ECL-2), and 1.45 V (ECL-3). ECL-1 is generated from the BSA-Au(0) section of BSA-AuNCs in a surface-defect-involved route and is much stronger and red-shifted compared to ECL-2 and ECL-3, which are generated from the BSA-Au(I) section of BSA-AuNCs in the band-gap-engineered route. Each of the anodic ECL processes can be selectively generated and/or suppressed via adjusting the Au(I)/Au(0) ratio of BSA-AuNCs, tunable ECL generation route, and triggering potential, and the emission intensity and waveband of metal NCs are conveniently achieved in body-element-involved valence-state engineering.

Sensitive electrochemical detection of polymorphisms in IL6 and TGFβ1 genes from ovarian cancer DNA patients using EcoRI and DNA hairpin-modified gold electrodes. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 190:15. [PMID: 36479645 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05595-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Two electrochemical bioplatforms were prepared based on thiolated hairpin DNA probes tethered to AuNP-modified screen-printed electrodes to detect T > G and T > C polymorphisms, namely rs1880269 and rs1800469, present the interleukin-6 (IL6) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) genes. The electrochemical readout was ensured by the detection of the double-stranded DNA using methylene blue as a redox probe after treatment by EcoRI restrictase. The main parameters influencing the analytical response such as the thiolated DNA probe concentration, incubation time with electrode, DNA hybridization time, EcoRI enzyme load, and its cleavage time were optimized based on the current intensity and signal-to-blank (S/B) ratio as selection criteria. Using spiked buffer solutions, the IL6 and TGFβ1 E-bioplatforms display wide ranges of linearity (1 × 102-1 × 108 fM and 5 × 101-1 × 105 fM, respectively) and limits of detection (47.9 fM and 16.6 fM, respectively). The two bioelectrodes have also good discrimination toward 1-mismatched, two mismatched, and non-complementary sequences, when they were used 30-fold higher than the target sequences. More importantly, the two bioplatforms successfully detected the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in scarcely diluted genomic DNA, collected from 52 donors, and showed they can reliably distinguish between heterozygous (TG and TC genotypes) and homozygous (GG and CC genotypes) patients with respect to the control subjects (TT genotype), where the differences are statistically highly significant (p-value < 0.0001). Thus, the designed devices could be used to conduct large cohort studies targeting these mutations or extended to other SNPs.

The ingenious combination of electrochemistry and chemiluminescence results in the distinct advantages of high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range and good reproducibility. Specifically, single-cell ECL (SCECL) analysis with excellent spatiotemporal resolution has emerged as a promising toolbox in bioanalysis for revealing individual cells' heterogeneity and stochastic processes. This review focuses on advances in SCECL analysis and bioimaging. The history and recent advances in ECL probes and strategies for system design are briefly reviewed. Subsequently, the latest advances in representative SCECL analysis techniques for bioassays, bioimaging and therapeutics are also highlighted. Then, the current challenges and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Developing robust and sensitive food safety detection methods is important for human health. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a powerful analytical technique for complete separation of input source (electricity) and output signal (light), thereby significantly reducing background ECL signal. ECL biosensors have attracted considerable attention owing to their high sensitivity and wide dynamic range in food safety detection. In this review, we introduce the principles of ECL biosensors and common ECL luminophores, as well as the latest applications of ECL biosensors in food analysis. Further, novel nanomaterial assembly strategies have been progressively incorporated into the design of ECL biosensors, and by demonstrating some representative works, we summarize the development status of ECL biosensors in detection of mycotoxins, heavy metal ions, antibiotics, pesticide residues, foodborne pathogens, and other illegal additives. Finally, the current challenges faced by ECL biosensors are outlined and the future directions for advancing ECL research are presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The demand for point-of-care testing (POCT) devices has rapidly grown since they offer immediate test results with ease of use, makingthem suitable for home self-testing patients and caretakers. However, the POCT development has faced the challenges of increased cost and limited resources. Therefore, the paper substrate as a low-cost material has been employed to develop a cost-effective POCT device, known as "Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs)". This device is gaining attention as a promising tool for medicinal diagnostic applications owing to its unique features of simple fabrication, low cost, enabling manipulation flow (capillarydriven flow), the ability to store reagents, and accommodating multistep assay requirements. OBJECTIVE This review comprehensively examines the fabrication methods and device designs (2D/3D configuration) and their advantages and disadvantages, focusing on updated μPADs applications for motif identification. METHODS The evolution of paper-based devices, starting from the traditional devices of dipstick and lateral flow assay (LFA) with μPADs, has been described. Patterned structure fabrication of each technique has been compared among the equipment used, benefits, and drawbacks. Microfluidic device designs, including 2D and 3D configurations, have been introduced as well as their modifications. Various designs of μPADs have been integrated with many powerful detection methods such as colorimetry, electrochemistry, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence, and SER-based sensors for medicinal diagnosis applications. CONCLUSION The μPADs potential to deal with commercialization in terms of the state-of-the-art of μPADs in medicinal diagnosis has been discussed. A great prototype, which is currently in a reallife application breakthrough, has been updated.

Abstract
Displays and indicators are an integral component of everyday electronics. However, the short lifecycle of most applications is currently contributing to the unsustainable growth of electronic waste. In this work, we utilize ecofriendly materials in combination with sustainable processing techniques to fabricate inkjet-printed, ecofriendly dual-mode displays (DMDs). These displays can be used in a reflective mode or an emissive mode by changing between DC and AC operation due to the combination of an electrochromic (EC) and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) layer in a single device. The EC polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) serves as the reflective layer, while an ECL gel made of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumbis(oxalato)borate (BMIMBOB), and tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride (Ru2+(bpy)3Cl2) enables the emissive mode. The final dual-mode devices exhibited their maximum optical power output of 52 mcd/m2 at 4 V and 40 Hz and achieved an EC contrast of 45% and a coloration efficiency of 244 cm2/C at a wavelength of 690 nm. The fabricated devices showed clear readability in dark and light conditions when operated in reflective or emissive modes. This work demonstrates the applicability of ecofriendly and potentially biodegradable materials to reduce the amount of hazardous components in versatile display technologies.

Abstract
The rapid and reliable determination of thrombomodulin (TM) is of great significance for the diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation, thrombosis and others. This work exhibits an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor, which was prepared using Ru(bpy)32+ encapsulated by MIL-NH2-101(Al) nanocomposites for the sensitive detection of the new-thrombus marker thrombomodulin (TM) for the first time. Specifically, on one hand, with the advantages of high specific surface area, large hollow porous structure and favorable biocompatibility, MIL-NH2-101(Al) could load a large amount of luminescent Ru(bpy)32+ and thereby greatly enhance the ECL signal of the immunosensor. On the other hand, K2S2O8 is used as co-reactant to form a reduction-oxidation ECL system for cathodic ECL detection with strong anti-interference capacity. The experimental results show that the ECL signal intensity of the Ru(bpy)32+@MIL-NH2-101(Al)-based immunosensor decreased with the immunocapturing of TM, exhibiting a linear detection concentration ranging from 1 × 10-5 to 10 μg mL-1 and the limit of detection (LOD) of 8.2 × 10-6 μg mL-1 (S/N = 3). With its ideal stability, selectivity and reproducibility, the proposed ECL immunosensor can provide excellent aid and shows great promise for the detection of TM.

Abstract
The fabrication of a cloth-based analytical device combined with electrochemiluminescence detection was established for the rapid determination of salbutamol in pork samples. A hand-coloring method to pattern the hydrophobic chamber was employed, and a three-carbon electrode system was subsequently screen printed onto the patterned cotton chamber. Further modifications of the working electrode surface were conducted using platinum nanoparticles and chitosan solution. The salbutamol enhanced the electrochemiluminescence signal of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) complex in the Britton-Robinson buffer of pH 9.5 and the potential quantitative assay for SAL detection was exhibited. The proposed sensor illustrated a linear calibration curve of the logarithmic SAL concentration in the range of 5 × 10-2 to 5 × 104 µg L-1 (r2 > 0.996). A limit of detection of 6.8 ng L-1 was observed. The CAD-ECL sensor was successfully applied for the determination of salbutamol residuals in pork samples. The method validation was performed using the LC-MS method.

Abstract
A novel solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for chlorpyrifos (CPF) detection was constructed based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 electrospinning nanofibers (ZIF-67 NFs). Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), ZIF-67 NFs, tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)32+], and Nafion were successively deposited on the surface of the electrode. Ag NPs played a role in promoting electron transfer, and ZIF-67 NFs played a role in fixing Ru(bpy)32+ and promoting electron transfer due to its large specific surface area and porosity. Nafion formed a film on the outermost layer of the electrode to further improve the stability of the system. Therefore, the modified electrode showed stable and obvious ECL signal in PBS solution containing 10 μL 0.01 M TprA (pH 8.0). CPF quenched the ECL signal of the system, and the quenching value was linear with the logarithm of CPF concentration in the range 1.0 × 10-13 to 1.0 × 10-6 M. The detection limit was 3.3 × 10-14 M (S/N = 3). In this study, ZIF-67 NFs were used as an ECL promoter for the first time, broadening the application range of ZIF-67 NFs.

Abstract
Biosensors have a great impact on our society to enhance the life quality, playing an important role in the development of Point-of-Care (POC) technologies for rapid diagnostics, and monitoring of disease progression. COVID-19 rapid antigen tests, home pregnancy tests, and glucose monitoring sensors represent three examples of successful biosensor POC devices. Biosensors have extensively been used in applications related to the control of diseases, food quality and safety, and environment quality. They can provide great specificity and portability at significantly reduced costs. In this chapter are described the fundamentals of biosensors including the working principles, general configurations, performance factors, and their classifications according to the type of bioreceptors and transducers. It is also briefly illustrated the general strategies applied to immobilize biorecognition elements on the transducer surface for the construction of biosensors. Moreover, the principal detection methods used in biosensors are described, giving special emphasis on optical, electrochemical, and mass-based methods. Finally, the challenges for biosensing in real applications are addressed at the end of this chapter.

Abstract
Medical diagnostics is moving toward disease-related target detection at very low concentrations because of the (1) quest for early-stage diagnosis, at a point where only limited target amounts are present, (2) trend toward minimally invasive sample extraction, yielding samples containing low concentrations of target, and (3) need for straightforward sample collection, usually resulting in limited volume collected. Hence, diagnostic tools allowing ultrasensitive target detection at the point-of-care (POC) are crucial for simplified and timely diagnosis of many illnesses. Therefore, we developed an innovative, fully integrated, semi-automated, and economically viable platform based on (1) digital microfluidics (DMF), enabling automated manipulation and analysis of very low sample volumes and (2) low-cost disposable DMF chips with microwell arrays, fabricated via roll-to-roll processes and allowing digital target counting. Thyroid stimulating hormone detection was chosen as a relevant application to show the potential of the system. The assay buffer was selected using design of experiments, and the assay was optimized in terms of reagent concentration and incubation time toward maximum sensitivity. The hydrophobic-in-hydrophobic microwells showed an unparalleled seeding efficiency of 97.6% ± 0.6%. A calculated LOD of 0.0013 μIU/mL was obtained, showing the great potential of the platform, especially taking into account the very low sample volume analyzed (1.1 μL). Although validation (in biological matrix) and industrialization (full automation) steps still need to be taken, it is clear that the combination of DMF, low-cost DMF chips, and digital analyte counting in microwell arrays enables the implementation of ultrasensitive and reliable target detection at the POC.
