Abstract
Chiral recognition of enantiomers with identical mirror-symmetric molecular structures is important for the analysis of biomolecules, and it conventionally relies on stereoselective interactions in chiral chemical environments. Here, we develop a magneto-electrochemical method for the enhanced detection of chiral amino acids (AAs), that combines the advantages of the high sensitivity of electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensors and chirality-induced effects under a magnetic field. The ECL difference between L- and D-enantiomers can be amplified over 35-fold under a field of 3.5 kG, and the chiral discrimination can be achieved in dilute AA solutions down to the nM level. The field-dependent ECL and chronocoulometry measurements suggest that chiral AAs can lock the spins on their radicals and thus enlarge the ECL change under applied magnetic fields (magneto-ECL, MECL), which explains the field-enhanced chiral discrimination of AA enantiomers. Finally, a detailed protocol is demonstrated for the identification of unknown AA solutions, in which the species, chirality and concentration of AAs can be determined simultaneously from the 2D plots of the ECL and MECL results. This work benefits the development of field-assisted detection methods and represents a promising and universal strategy for the comprehensive analysis of chiral biomolecules.

A dry chemistry-based self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence lateral flow immunoassay sensor for accurate sample-to-answer detection of luteinizing hormone. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1309:342646. [PMID: 38772670 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342646] [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: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorimetric lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a widely used point-of-care testing (POCT) technology, while it has entered a bottleneck period because of low detection sensitivity, expensive preparation materials, and incapable quantitative detection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel POCT method that is ultrasensitive, simple, portable, and capable of accurately detecting biomarkers in biofluids daily, particularly for pregnancy preparation and early screening of diseases. RESULT In this work, a novel dry chemistry-based self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (DC-SE-ECL) LFIA sensor is introduced for accurate POCT of luteinizing hormone (LH). The proposed DC-SE-ECL immunosensor significantly improves the detection sensitivity through the Poly-l-Lysine (PLL)-based SE-ECL probe and cathode modification of closed bipolar electrode (C-BPE). Additionally, a new type of C-BPE configuration is designed for easily performing the LFIA. And, two standalone absorbent pads are symmetrically arranged below the reporting channel of the electrode pad to decease useless residues on the detection pad, which further improves the detection performance. Under optimized conditions, the proposed LFIA sensor has a low limit of detection (9.274 μIU mL-1) and a wide linear dynamic range (0.01-100 mIU mL-1), together with good selectivity, repeatability and storage stability. SIGNIFICANCE These results indicate that the proposed DC-SE-ECL method has the potential as a new tool for detecting biomarkers in clinical samples.

Abstract
Genome editing has the potential to improve the unsatisfactory therapeutic effect of antitumor immunotherapy. However, the cell plasma membrane prevents the entry of almost all free genome-manipulation agents. Therefore, a system can be spatiotemporally controlled and can instantly open the cellular membrane to allow the entry of genome-editing agents into target cells is needed. Here, inspired by the ability of T cells to deliver cytotoxins to cancer cells by perforation, an ultrasound (US)-controlled perforation system (UPS) is established to enhance the delivery of free genome-manipulating agents. The UPS can perforate the tumor cell membrane while maintaining cell viability via a controllable lipid peroxidation reaction. In vitro, transmembrane-incapable plasmids can enter cells and perform genome editing with the assistance of UPS, achieving an efficiency of up to 90%. In vivo, the UPS is biodegradable, nonimmunogenic, and tumor-targeting, enabling the puncturing of tumor cells under US. With the application of UPS-assisted genome editing, gasdermin-E expression in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice is successfully restored, which leads to pyroptosis-mediated antitumor immunotherapy via low-dose X-ray irradiation. This study provides new insights for designing a sonoporation system for genome editing. Moreover, the results demonstrate that restoring gasdermin expression by genome editing significantly improves the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) as an analytical technology with a perfect combination of electrochemistry and spectroscopy has received considerable attention in bioanalysis due to its high sensitivity and broad dynamic range. Given the selectivity of bio-recognition elements and the high sensitivity of the ECL analysis technique, ECL biosensors are powerful platforms for the sensitive detection of biomarkers, achieving the accurate prognosis and diagnosis of diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial biomarkers involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, whose aberrant expression is often related to serious diseases, especially cancers. ECL biosensors can fulfill the highly sensitive and selective requirements for accurate miRNA detection, prompting this review. The ECL mechanisms are initially introduced and subsequently categorize the ECL biosensors for miRNA detection in terms of the quenching agents. Furthermore, the work highlights the signal amplification strategies for enhancing ECL signal to improve the sensitivity of miRNA detection and finally concludes by looking at the challenges and opportunities in ECL biosensors for miRNA detection.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of acute diseases is restricted by the sensitivity and complex process of sample treatment. Here, an ultrasensitive, rapid, and portable electrochemiluminescence-microfluidic (ECL-M) system is described via sandwich-type immunoassay and surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) assay. Using a sandwich immunoreaction approach, the ECL-M system employs cardiac troponin-I antigen (cTnI) as a detection model with a Ru@SiO2 NPs labeled antibody as the signal probe. For miR-499-5p detection, gold nanoparticles generate SPR effects to enhance Ru(bpy)3 2+ ECL signals. The system based on alternating current (AC) electroosmotic flow achieves an LOD of 2 fg mL-1 for cTnI in 5 min and 10 aM for miRNAs in 10 min at room temperature. The point-of-care testing (POCT) device demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 98% specificity for cTnI detection in 123 clinical serum samples. For miR-499-5p, it exhibited 100% sensitivity and 97% specificity in 55 clinical serum samples. Continuous monitoring of these biomarkers in rats' saliva, urine, and interstitial fluid samples for 48 hours revealed observations rarely documented in biotic fluids. The ECL-M POCT device stands as a top-performing system for ECL analysis, offering immense potential for ultrasensitive, rapid, highly accurate, and facile detection and monitoring of acute diseases in POC settings.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a highly sensitive mode of detection utilised in commercialised bead-based immunoassays. Recently, the introduction of a freely diffusing water-soluble Ir(iii) complex was demonstrated to enhance the ECL emission of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ labels anchored to microbeads, but a comprehensive investigation of the proposed 'redox-mediated' mechanism was not carried out. In this work, we select three different water-soluble Ir(iii) complexes by virtue of their photophysical and electrochemical properties in comparison with those of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ luminophore and the TPrA co-reactant. A systematic investigation of the influence of each Ir(iii) complex on the emission of the Ru(ii) labels on single beads by ECL microscopy revealed that the heterogeneous ECL can be finely tuned and either enhanced up to 107% or lowered by 75%. The variation of the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ ECL emission was correlated to the properties of each Ir(iii)-based mediator, which enabled us to decipher the mechanism of interaction and define guidelines for the future design of novel Ir(iii) complexes to further enhance the ECL emission of bead-based immunoassays. Ultimately, we showcase the potential of this technology for practical sample analysis in commercial instruments by assessing the enhancement of the collective ECL intensity from a bead-based system.

Abstract
The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of a tri(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(ii) (Ru(bpy)32+)/tripropylamine (TPrA) system was investigated in sensor chips with two kinds of integrated two-electrode systems, which included screen-printed electrodes (SPE) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) electrodes. Firstly, under excitation with an optimal transient potential (TP) within 100 ms, the ECL assay could be carried out on the microchips using an Au & Au electrode system, emitting strong and stable light signal. Secondly, on the PVD chip, the ECL intensity initiated by optimal TP was eight times stronger than the peak light signal emitted by the linear sweep voltammetry model. Finally, the logarithmic ECL intensities exhibited a linear increase with the logarithmic concentrations of Ru(bpy)32+ in both the SPE and PVD chips without any reference electrode (RE). Typically, the integration of an interdigital two-electrode system in the microchip significantly enhanced the ECL sensitivity of Ru(bpy)32+ because the large relative area between the working electrode (WE) and counter electrode (CE) achieved a highly efficient mass transfer. This improvement enabled the establishment of a reliable linear relationship across a wide concentration range, spanning from 1 pM to 1 μM (R2 = 0.998). Therefore, the exceptional ECL response of the Ru(bpy)32+/TPrA system on microfluidic chips using a two-electrode system and the TP excitation model has been demonstrated. This suggests that ECL chips without a RE have broad potential for the rapid and sensitive detection of multiple targets.

Abstract
In recent years, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has received enormous attention and has emerged as one of the most successful tools in the field of analytical science. Compared with homogeneous ECL, the heterogeneous (or solid-state) ECL has enhanced the rate of the electron transfer kinetics and offers rapid response time, which is highly beneficial in point-of-care and clinical applications. In ECL, the luminophore is the key element, which dictates the overall performance of the ECL-based sensors in various analytical applications. Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium (II) complex, Ru(bpy)32+, is a coordination compound, which is the gold-standard luminophore in ECL. It has played a key role in translating ECL from a "laboratory curiosity" to a commercial analytical instrument for diagnosis. The aim of the present review is to provide the principles of ECL and classical reaction mechanisms-particularly involving the heterogeneous Ru(bpy)32+/co-reactant ECL systems, as well as the fabrication methods and its importance over solution-phase Ru(bpy)32+ ECL. Then, we discussed the emerging technology in solid-state Ru(bpy)32+ ECL-sensing platforms and their recent potential analytical applications such as in immunoassay sensors, DNA sensors, aptasensors, bio-imaging, latent fingerprint detection, point-of-care testing, and detection of non-biomolecules. Finally, we also briefly cover the recent advances in solid-state Ru(bpy)32+ ECL coupled with the hyphenated techniques.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is an intricately regulated post-translational modification that involves the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to a substrate protein. The complex dynamic nature of the ubiquitination process regulates diverse cellular functions including targeting proteins for degradation, cell cycle, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair, and numerous cell signaling pathways. Ubiquitination also serves as a crucial mechanism in protein quality control. Dysregulation in ubiquitination could result in lethal disease conditions such as cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, the ubiquitination cascade has become an attractive target for therapeutic interventions. Enormous efforts have been made to detect ubiquitination involving different detection techniques to better grasp the underlying molecular mechanisms of ubiquitination. This review discusses a wide range of techniques stretching from the simplest assays to real-time assays. This includes western blotting/immunoblotting, fluorescence assays, chemiluminescence assays, spectrophotometric assays, and nanopore sensing assays. This review compares these applications, and the inherent advantages and limitations.

Abstract
Infectious bacterial biofilms are recalcitrant to most antibiotics compared to their planktonic version, and the lack of appropriate therapeutic strategies for mitigating them poses a serious threat to clinical treatment. A ternary heterojunction material derived from a Bi-based perovskite-TiO2 hybrid and a [Ru(2,2'-bpy)2(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bpy)]2+ (2,2'-bpy, 2,2'-bipyridyl) as a photosensitizer (RuPS) is developed. This hybrid material is found to be capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS)/reactive nitrogen species (RNS) upon solar light irradiation. The aligned band edges and effective exciton dynamics between multisite heterojunctions are established by steady-state/time-resolved optical and other spectroscopic studies. Proposed mechanistic pathways for the photocatalytic generation of ROS/RNS are rationalized based on a cascade-redox processes arising from three catalytic centers. These ROS/RNS are utilized to demonstrate a proof-of-concept in treating two elusive bacterial biofilms while maintaining a high level of biocompatibility (IC50 > 1 mg/mL). The in situ generation of radical species (ROS/RNS) upon photoirradiation is established with EPR spectroscopic measurements and colorimetric assays. Experimental results showed improved efficacy toward biofilm inactivation of the ternary heterojunction material as compared to their individual/binary counterparts under solar light irradiation. The multisite heterojunction formation helped with better exciton delocalization for an efficient catalytic biofilm inactivation. This was rationalized based on the favorable exciton dissociation followed by the onset of multiple oxidation and reduction sites in the ternary heterojunction. This together with exceptional photoelectric features of lead-free halide perovskites outlines a proof-of-principle demonstration in biomedical optoelectronics addressing multimodal antibiofilm/antimicrobial modality.

Abstract
This work reports washing-free electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) magnetic microbiosensors based on target assistant proximity hybridization (TAPH) for multiple protein biomarkers for the first time. As a principle-of-proof, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was chosen as a model analyte, and biotin-DNA1 bound streptavidin-coated magnetic microbeads (MMB@SA⋅biotin-DNA1) were designed as the universal capture MMB, while the corresponding two antibodies tagged with DNA2 or DNA3 were utilized as hybrid recognition probes, and ruthenium complex-tagged DNA4-10A was designed as a universal ECL signal probe. When the capture MMB was added into the mixture solution (containing the analyte, hybrid recognition probes, signal probe and tri-n-propylamine), biocomplexes were formed on the MMB. After the resulting MMB was efficiently brought to the surface of a magnetic glassy carbon electrode (MGCE), ECL measurement was performed without a washing step, resulting in an increase in the ECL intensity. A model for ECL measuring the second-order rate constants of hybridization reactions on MMB was derived. It was found that the rate constants for hybridization reactions on MMB in rotating mode are 1.6-fold higher than those in shaking mode, and a suitable DNA length of the signal probe can improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The washing-free ECL method was developed for the determination of AFP with a much lower detection limit (LOD) of 0.04 ng mL-1. The developed flexible strategy has been extended to determine D-dimer with an LOD of 0.1 ng mL-1 and myoglobinglobin with an LOD of 1.1 ng mL-1. This work demonstrated that the proposed strategy of ECL TAPH on MMB at MGCE is a washing-free and flexible promising strategy, and can be extended to qualify other multiple protein biomarkers in real clinical assays.

Abstract
A new and reliable method has been constructed for detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) open reading frames 1ab (ORF1ab) gene via highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor technology based on highly efficient asymmetric polymerase chain reaction (asymmetric PCR) amplification strategy. This method uses magnetic particles coupled with biotin-labeled one complementary nucleic acid sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab gene as the magnetic capture probes, and [Formula: see text]-labeled amino-modified another complementary nucleic acid sequence as the luminescent probes, and then a detection model of magnetic capture probes-asymmetric PCR amplification nucleic acid products-[Formula: see text]-labeled luminescent probes is formed, which combines the advantages of highly efficient asymmetric PCR amplification strategy and highly sensitive ECL biosensor technology, enhancing the method sensitivity of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab gene. The method enables the rapid and sensitive detection of the ORF1ab gene and has a linear range of 1-[Formula: see text] copies/[Formula: see text], a regression equation of [Formula: see text] = [Formula: see text] + 2919.301 ([Formula: see text] = 0.9983, [Formula: see text] = 7), and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 copy/[Formula: see text]. In summary, it can meet the analytical requirements for simulated saliva and urine samples and has the benefits of easy operation, reasonable reproducibility, high sensitivity, and anti-interference abilities, which can provide a reference for developing efficient field detection methods for SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
This work reports the performance enhancement strategies on magnetic beads (MBs)-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platforms by using double magnetic field actuation of the ECL magnetic microbiosensors (MMbiosensors) for highly sensitive determination of cancer biomarker and exosomes. To obtain the high sensitivity and reproducibility of the ECL MMbiosensors, a series of strategies have been developed including replacing a conventional photomultiplier tube (PMT) with a diamagnetic PMT, replacing the stacked ring-disc magnets with circular-disc magnets lain-in glassy carbon electrode, adding a pre-concentration process of MBs using external magnet actuation. For fundamental research, the ECL MBs taken as the substitute of ECL MMbiosensors were prepared by binding biotinylated DNA tagged with Ru(bpy)32+ derivative (Ru1) to streptavidin-coated MB(MB@SA) were which showed that the developed strategies can enhance 45-fold sensitivity. Importantly, the developed MBs-based ECL platform was estimated by determination of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and exosomes. For PSA, MB@SA•biotin-Ab1(PSA) was taken as the capture probe and Ru1-labeled Ab2 (PSA) was done as ECL probe, while for exosomes, MB@SA•biotin-aptamer (CD63) was taken as the capture probe and Ru1-labeled Ab (CD9) was done as the ECL probe. The experiment results showed that the developed strategies can enhance 33-fold sensitivity of ECL MMbiosensors for PSA and exosomes. The detection limit is 0.28 ng mL-1 for PSA and 4.9 × 102 particle mL-1 for exosomes. This work demonstrated that a series of proposed magnetic field actuation strategies greatly increase the sensitivity of the ECL MMbiosensors. The developed strategies can be expanded to MBs-based ECL and electrochemical biosensors for clinical analysis with greater sensitivity.

Abstract
A novel sandwich-type biosensor denoted as "MIP-analyte-Ab" was constructed on a glassy carbon electrode modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@GCE), which is dedicated to explore a general solution for electrochemical tests in a relatively high potential range on Au electrodes. In particular, parasitic reactions of Au oxidation severely hindered the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reactions of the Ru(bpy)32+/tripropylamine (TPrA) system. In this work, we designed an ultra-fast redox pulse to alleviate reversible oxidation of Au with a potential range of -0.5 to 0.9 V. Stable ECL signals were generated in the last 3 ms of each run (RSD = 5.86%), and interesting mechanisms were revealed. The ultra-high-frequency sampler indicated that free diffusion of TPrA•+ was the rate-determining step at 0.9 V, and it followed a totally different route with ECL at 1.3 V. Furthermore, we proposed a particular ECL reaction route at 0.9 V with C5 desosamine of the analyte, azithromycin, involved for the first time, based on results of radical identification. We believe that our work paved the way for the application of Au-based sandwich-type biosensors in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) poses a serious threat to human health and social development. Accurate diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection plays a critical role in the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. Interferon-γ (INF-γ) release assay (IGRA) is currently the only quantitative tuberculosis infection diagnosis method. An accurate, fast, and easily handled INF-γ detection method is the key to obtaining accurate results. Herein, we report a novel paper-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method based on lateral flow immunosensors that combines the easy handling characteristics of immunochromatography and the high sensitivity of electrochemiluminescence to detect IFN-γ. To our knowledge this is the first INF-γ detection method that combines immunochromatography with electrochemiluminescence. The paper-based ECL-LFI test consists of a sample pad, conjugation pad (with binding antibody IFN-γ-Ab1 conjugated with ruthenium tripyridine), detection pad (with capture antibody IFN-γ-Ab2 immobilized on nanospheres), absorbent pad, and electrode for signal activation. The ECL signal is obtained by cyclic voltammetry scanning at a speed of 0.1 V/s in the detection area of the paper-based ECL-LFI test. In our experiments, the paper-based ECL-LFI test exhibited a minimum detection limit of 2.57 pg/mL within 12 min, and a broad detection range of 2.57-5,000 pg/mL, with repeatability of 8.10% and stability of 4.97%. With the advantage of high accuracy and sensitivity, easy handling, and low user training requirements, this ECL-LFI test might be used as point-of-care testing (POCT) in the IGRA for tuberculosis diagnosis.

Abstract
A single-molecule electrochemiluminescence bioassay is developed here which allows imaging and direct quantification of single biomolecules. Imaging single biomolecules is realized by localizing the electrochemiluminescence events of the labeled molecules. Such an imaging system allows mapping the spatial distribution of biomolecules with electrochemiluminescence and contains quantitative single-molecule insights. We further quantify biomolecules by spatiotemporally merging the repeated reactions at one molecule site and then counting the clustered molecules. The proposed single-molecule electrochemiluminescence bioassay is used to detect carcinoembryonic antigen, showing a limit of detection of 67 attomole concentration which is 10 000 times better than conventional electrochemiluminescence bioassays. This spatial resolution and sensitivity enable single-molecule electrochemiluminescence bioassay a new toolbox for both specific bioimaging and ultrasensitive quantitative analysis.

Abstract
The recent pandemic has led to the fabrication of new nucleic acid sensors that can detect infinitesimal limits immediately and effectively. Therefore, various techniques have been demonstrated using low-dimensional materials that exhibit ultrahigh detection and accuracy. Numerous detection approaches have been reported, and new methods for impulse sensing are being explored. All ongoing research converges at one unique point, that is, an impetus: the enhanced limit of detection of sensors. There are several reviews on the detection of viruses and other proteins related to disease control point of care; however, to the best of our knowledge, none summarizes the various nucleotide sensors and describes their limits of detection and mechanisms. To understand the far-reaching impact of this discipline, we briefly discussed conventional and nanomaterial-based sensors, and then proposed the feature prospects of these devices. Two types of sensing mechanisms were further divided into their sub-branches: polymerase chain reaction and photospectrometric-based sensors. The nanomaterial-based sensor was further subdivided into optical and electrical sensors. The optical sensors included fluorescence (FL), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), while electrical sensors included electrochemical luminescence (ECL), microfluidic chip, and field-effect transistor (FET). A synopsis of sensing materials, mechanisms, detection limits, and ranges has been provided. The sensing mechanism and materials used were discussed for each category in terms of length, collectively forming a fusing platform to highlight the ultrahigh detection technique of nucleotide sensors. We discussed potential trends in improving the fabrication of nucleotide nanosensors based on low-dimensional materials. In this area, particular aspects, including sensitivity, detection mechanism, stability, and challenges, were addressed. The optimization of the sensing performance and selection of the best sensor were concluded. Recent trends in the atomic-scale simulation of the development of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sensors using 2D materials were highlighted. A critical overview of the challenges and opportunities of deoxyribonucleic acid sensors was explored, and progress made in deoxyribonucleic acid detection over the past decade with a family of deoxyribonucleic acid sensors was described. Areas in which further research is needed were included in the future scope.

Abstract
Very recently, there is a great research interest in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) featuring thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties, i.e., TADF-ECL. It is appealing since the earlier reports in this topic well-confirmed that this strategy has a great potential in achieving all-exciton-harvesting ECL efficiency under electrochemical excitation, which is a breakthrough in the topic of organic ECL. However, organic phase electrochemistry and ECL studies surrounding TADF-ECL are still extremely rare. Especially, the ECL spectra of previous reported TADF emitters are still very different from their PL spectra. In this work, we systematically measure and discuss the liquid electrochemistry and ECL behavior of two typical TADF molecules in organic medium. Most importantly, we verify for the first time that the ECL spectra of them (coreactant ECL mode) are identical to their PL spectra counterparts, which confirms the effectiveness of TADF photophysical properties in the coreactant ECL mode in practice.

Abstract
The immunogenicity testing of oligonucleotide drugs using an antibody bridging assay has been scarcely investigated. We developed a highly sensitive antibody bridging assay model and assessed it using probe alteration link self-assembly reactions (PALSAR) technology as a signal amplifier. Methods: The concentration of each probe was optimized, and the bridging assay model was compared with and without signal amplification. Cut-point and analytical sensitivity were determined, and accuracy, precision and drug tolerance were evaluated. Results: The PALSAR bridging assay achieved a net signal 21-36 times higher than that obtained with the conventional method. The analytical sensitivity achieved was 48.8 ng/ml, with adequate accuracy, precision and drug tolerance. Conclusion: PALSAR technology is feasible for developing an antibody bridging assay using oligonucleotides as capture and detection probes.

Abstract
The synthesis, photophysics, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of four water-soluble dinuclear Ir(III) and Ru(II) complexes (1-4) terminally-capped by 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy) or 1,3-di(pyrid-2-yl)-4,6-dimethylbenzene (N^C^N) ligands and linked by a 2,7-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl)fluorene with oligoether chains on C9 are reported. The impact of the tpy or N^C^N ligands and metal centers on the photophysical properties of 1-4 was assessed by spectroscopic methods including UV-vis absorption, emission, and transient absorption, and by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. These complexes exhibited distinct singlet and triplet excited-state properties upon variation of the terminal-capping terdentate ligands and the metal centers. The ECL properties of complexes 1-3 with better water solubility were investigated in neutral phosphate buffer solutions (PBS) by adding tripropylamine (TPA) as a co-reactant, and the observed ECL intensity followed the descending order of 3 > 1 > 2. Complex 3 bearing the [Ru(tpy)2]2+ units displayed more pronounced ECL signals, giving its analogues great potential for further ECL study.

Abstract
Anti-Stokes photoinduced electrochemiluminescence (PECL) converts infrared photons to visible photons and is usually triggered at a narrow band gap-protected photoanode. Here, we report the first example of PECL with the model [Ru(bpy)3]2+/benzoyl peroxide system at a bare p-type Si photocathode. The reported PECL system, which allows a notable decrease of the cathodic potential required for ECL generation, should open new opportunities for imaging and light-addressable devices.

Abstract
In this work, a novel methodology to design bifunctional ECL-luminophores with self-enhanced and TSA-amplified characteristics was proposed for improving the sensing performance of ECL-immunosensor toward trace cytokine analysis. Thanks to the qualitative- and quantitative- dual signal amplification technique, the as-prepared ECL biosensor demonstrated excellent detection performance. By analyzing the prospective cytokine biomarkers (IL-6), the ECL immunosensor exhibited a broad examination range with quite low detection limit and quite high selectivity, which was far superior to commercial ELISA kits and ever reported works. In particular, the novel ECL nanoprobe developed here could also be applied to monitor other immune toxicities or disease-related cytokines by using the respective antibodies corresponding to these targets. Moreover, the concept and construction strategy of self-amplified ECL-luminophores presented here could be further extended to design a series of Pdots-derived multicolored ECL probes to meet the needs of multipathway detection applications.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a powerful transduction technique where light emission from a molecular species is triggered by an electrochemical reaction. Application to biosensors has led to a wide range of electroanalytical methods with particular impact on clinical analysis for diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring. Therefore, the quest for increasing the sensitivity while maintaining reproducible and easy procedures has brought investigations and innovations in (i) electrode materials, (ii) luminophores, and (iii) reagents. Particularly, the ECL signal is strongly affected by the electrode material and its surface modification during the ECL experiments. Here, we exploit boron-doped diamond (BDD) as an electrode material in microbead-based ECL immunoassay to be compared with the approach used in commercial instrumentation. We conducted a careful characterization of ECL signals from a tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)32+)/tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) system, both homogeneous (i.e., free diffusing Ru(bpy)32+) and heterogeneous (i.e., Ru(bpy)32+ bound on microbeads). We investigated the methods to promote TPrA oxidation, which led to the enhancement of ECL intensity, and the results revealed that the BDD surface properties greatly affect the ECL emission, so it does the addition of neutral, cationic, or anionic surfactants. Our results from homogeneous and heterogeneous microbead-based ECL show opposite outcomes, which have practical consequences in ECL optimization. In conclusion, by using Ru(bpy)32+-labeled immunoglobulins bound on microbeads, the ECL resulted in an increase of 70% and a double signal-to-noise ratio compared to platinum electrodes, which are actually used in commercial instrumentation for clinical analysis. This research infers that microbead-based ECL immunoassays with a higher sensitivity can be realized by BDD.

Abstract
Abstract The need for biosensors has evolved in the detection of molecules, diseases, and pollution from various sources. This requirement has headed to the development of accurate and powerful equipment for analysis using biological sensing component as a biosensor. Biosensors have the advantage of rapid detection that can beat the conventional methods for the detection of the same molecules. Bio-chemiluminescence-based sensors are very sensitive during use in biological immune assay systems. Optical biosensors are emerging with time as they have the advantage that they act with a change in the refractive index. Carbon nanotube-based sensors are another area that has an important role in the biosensor field. Bioluminescence gives much higher quantum yields than classical chemiluminescence. Electro-generated bioluminescence has the advantage of miniature size and can produce a high signal-to-noise ratio and the controlled emission. Recent advances in biological techniques and instrumentation involving fluorescence tag to nanomaterials have increased the sensitivity limit of biosensors. Integrated approaches provided a better perspective for developing specific and sensitive biosensors with high regenerative potentials. This paper mainly focuses on sensors that are important for the detection of multiple molecules related to clinical and environmental applications. Key points • The review focusses on the applications of luminescence-based, surface plasmon resonance-based, carbon nanotube-based, and graphene-based biosensors • Potential clinical, environmental, agricultural, and food industry applications/uses of biosensors have been critically reviewed • The current limitations in this field are discussed, as well as the prospects for future advancement

Abstract
The development of a responsive fluorescent probe for the detection of a particular biomolecule in a specific site at the desired moment is important in the fields of bioanalysis and imaging, molecular biology and biomedical research. In this work, we report the development of a remote-light activatable nanoprobe for the fluorescence detection of sulphite in pure aqueous solution and its imaging applications in living cells. The nanoprobe, Poly-Cm-SP, is fabricated simply by wrapping photochromic molecules (Cm-SP) into a polymer nanoparticle. Upon alternate UV/Vis light irradiation for several seconds, the Poly-Cm-SP nanoprobe exhibits red/blue fluorescence switch due to the inactive/active FRET processes from coumarins to the SP/MR isomers of the photochromic molecule. In the presence of sulphite, the specific reaction of sulphite with the electron deficit "CC" bond of the MR isomer occurs, resulting in an inefficient FRET process and thus exhibiting a constant "ON" blue channel fluorescence signal. After UV-light irradiation, the formation of activated Poly-Cm-MRin situ thus enables the detection of sulphite through recording the ratiometric changes of fluorescence signals at both blue and red channels. The Poly-Cm-SP nanoprobe possesses excellent biocompatibility and lysosome distribution capability, allowing it to be used for photochromic imaging and sulphite detection in the lysosomes of living macrophage cells. This work thus offers a new remote-light activatable nanoprobe for the detection and imaging of sulphite in biological systems.

Abstract
In recent years, semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) as environmentally friendly and high-brightness electrochemiluminescence (ECL) nanoemitters have attracted intense attention in ECL biosensing and imaging. However, most of the available Pdots have a high ECL excitation potential in the aqueous phase (>1.0 V vs Ag/AgCl), which causes poor selectivity in actual sample detection. Therefore, it is particularly important to construct a simple and universal strategy to lower the trigger potential of Pdots. This work has realized the ECL emission of Pdots at low-trigger-potential based on the electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ERET) strategy. By covalently coupling the Pdots with a luminol analogue, N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI), the ABEI-Pdots showed an anodic ECL emission with a low onset potential of +0.34 V and a peak potential at +0.45 V (vs Ag/AgCl), which was the lowest trigger potential reported so far. We further explored this low-triggering-potential ECL for imaging detection of glucose in buffer and serum. By imaging the ABEI-Pdots-modified screen-printed electrodes (SPCE) at +0.45 V for 16 s, the ECL imaging method could quantify the glucose concentration in buffer from 10 to 200 μM with detection limits of 3.3 μM, while exhibiting excellent selectivity. When applied to real serum, the results of our method were highly consistent with a commercial blood glucose meter, with the relative errors ranging from 3.2 to 13%. This work provided a universal strategy for constructing low potential Pdots and demonstrated its application potential in complex biological sample analysis.

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate a novel solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on the Ru(bpy)32+@terbium-guanosine monophosphate infinite coordination polymer network ((Ru(bpy)32+@Tb-GMP ICPn). Comparing with the traditional luminescence of Ru(bpy)32+ observed in a liquid system, the proposed method of encapsulating Ru(bpy)32+ into ICPn for immobilization greatly improves the ECL signal and efficiency, which is attributed to the unique porous structure and large specific surface area of ICPn. Moreover, the solid-state Ru(bpy)32+ ECL sensor has good biocompatibility and low toxicity. Taking histamine (HA) as a detection model, a good linear relationship between ECL intensity and logarithm of HA concentration was obtained with a low detection limit of 17 nM, and satisfactory results were obtained for detecting HA levels in fish samples as well. The proposed solid-state Ru(bpy)32+ ECL sensor has great application prospects in the safety of food.

Thus far, no correlation between nanocluster structures and their electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has been identified. Herein, we report how face-centered-cubic and hexagonal close-packed structures of two Au21(SR)15 nanocluster isomers determine their chemical reactivity. The relationships were explored by means of ECL and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Both isomers reveal unprecedented ECL efficiencies in the near-infrared region, which are >10- and 270-fold higher than that of standard Ru(bpy)32+, respectively. Photoelectrochemical reactivity as well as ECL mechanisms were elucidated based on electrochemistry, spooling photoluminescence, and ECL spectroscopy, unfolding the three emission enhancement origins: (i) effectively exposed reactive facets available to undergo electron transfer reactions; (ii) individual excited-state regeneration loops; (iii) cascade generations of various exited states. Indeed, these discoveries will have immediate impacts on various applications including but not limited to single molecular detection as well as photochemistry and electrocatalysis toward clean photon-electron conversion processes such as light-harvesting and light-emitting technologies.

Abstract
A chemical fixation strategy originating from single-atom-anchoring with metal-organic frameworks as a carrying matrix was proposed for solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Herein, UiO-67(N) with the exposure of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands could coordinate with Ru2+ to form a local structure of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (Ru-UiO). The influence of the steric effect induced with different Ru sources was discussed. The as-obtained Ru-UiO exhibits high ECL intensity and outstanding stability in the presence of a coreactant at low concentrations. The proposed synthesis strategy may hold great potential for the synthesis of solid-state ECL materials and their further utilization in ECL analysis.

Abstract
A novel immunoassay is introduced based on co-reactant enhancing strategy for the electrochemiluminescent (ECL) determination of CA15-3 and CA72-4 tumor markers in real samples. For the preparation of the signaling probe, CA15-3 and CA72-4 antibodies first were labeled using Ru(bpy)32+-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (Ru(bpy)32+-NHS) and conjugated with L-cysteine capped cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots. Finally, it was cross-linked with chitosan-grafted graphene oxide (GO@CS) nanocomposite. The capture probe was constructed by deposition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) at the surface of dual-working gold screen-printed electrodes (MWCNT-dwSPE) and covalent attachment of capture CA15-3 and CA72-4 antibodies to MWCNT-dwSPE. ECL signals were recorded by applying cyclic potential ranging from 0.3 to 1.1 V (vs. pseudo-reference Ag/AgCl) at the scan rate of 100 mV.s-1. This immunoassay was used for determination of CA15-3 and CA72-4 in real samples the detection limits of 9.2 μU.ml-1 and 89 μU.ml-1 within linear ranges of 10 μU.ml-1-500 U.ml-1 and 100 μU.ml-1-150 U.ml-1, respectively. This immunoassay also showed acceptable accuracy with recoveries in the range 96.5-108 % and high reproducibility with RSD of 3.1 and 4.9.

Abstract
One of the most widely used techniques to generate light through an efficient electron transfer is called electrochemiluminescence, or electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL). ECL mechanisms can be explored via 'spooling spectroscopy' in which individual ECL spectra showing emitted light are collected continuously during a potentiodynamic course. The obtained spectra are spooled together and plotted along the applied potential axis; because the potential sweep occurs at a defined rate, this axis is directly proportional to time. Any changes in the emission spectra can be correlated to the corresponding potentials and/or times, leading to a deeper understanding of the mechanism for light generation-information that can be used for efficiently maximizing ECL intensities. The formation of intermediates and excited states can also be tracked, which is crucial to interrogating and drawing electron transfer pathways (i.e., understanding the chemical reaction mechanism). Spooling spectroscopy is not limited to ECL; we also include instructions for the use of related methodologies, such as spooling photoluminescence spectroscopy during an electrolysis procedure, which can be easily set up. The total time required to complete the protocol is ~49 h, from making electrodes and an ECL cell, fabricating light-tight housing, to setting up instruments. Preparing the lab for an individual experiment (making an electrolyte solution of a targeted luminophore, cooling down the CCD camera, calibrating the spectrometer and surveying electrochemistry) takes ~1 h 15 min, and performing the spooling ECL spectroscopy experiment itself requires ~10 min.

Abstract
The effects of photobleaching on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was investigated for the first time. The plasma membrane of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells was labeled with a [Ru(bpy)3 ]2+ derivative. Selected regions of the fixed cells were photobleached using the confocal mode with sequential stepwise illumination or cumulatively and they were imaged by both ECL and photoluminescence (PL). ECL was generated with a model sacrificial coreactant, tri-n-propylamine. ECL microscopy of the photobleached regions shows lower ECL emission. We demonstrate a linear correlation between the ECL decrease and the PL loss due to the photobleaching of the labels immobilized on the CHO membranes. The presented strategy provides valuable information on the fundamentals of the ECL excited state and opens new opportunities for exploring cellular membranes by combining ECL microscopy with photobleaching techniques such as fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) or fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) methods.

Abstract
We examined a series of commercially available screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) for their suitability for electrochemical and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detection systems. Using cyclic voltammetry with both a homogeneous solution-based and a heterogeneous bead-based ECL assay format, the most intense ECL signals were observed from unmodified carbon-based SPEs. Three commercially available varieties were tested, with Zensor outperforming DropSens and Kanichi in terms of sensitivity. The incorporation of nanomaterials in the electrode did not significantly enhance the ECL intensity under the conditions used in this evaluation (such as gold nanoparticles 19%, carbon nanotubes 45%, carbon nanofibers 21%, graphene 48%, and ordered mesoporous carbon 21% compared to the ECL intensity of unmodified Zensor carbon electrode). Platinum and gold SPEs exhibited poor relative ECL intensities (16% and 10%) when compared to carbonaceous materials, due to their high rates of surface oxide formation and inefficient oxidation of tri-n-propylamine (TPrA). However, the ECL signal at platinum electrodes can be increased ∼3-fold with the addition of a surfactant, which enhanced TPrA oxidation due to increasing the hydrophobicity of the electrode surface. Our results also demonstrate that each SPE should only be used once, as we observed a significant change in ECL intensity over repeated CV scans and SPEs cannot be mechanically polished to refresh the electrode surface.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt)-based anticancer drugs such as cisplatin have been used to treat various cancers. However, they have some limitations including poor selectivity and toxicity towards normal cells and increasing chemoresistance. Therefore, there is a need for novel metallo-anticancers, which has not been met for decades. Since the initial introduction of ruthenium (Ru) polypyridyl complex, a number of attempts at structural evolution have been conducted to improve efficacy. Among them, half-sandwich Ru-arene complexes have been the most prominent as an anticancer platform. Such complexes have clearly shown superior anticancer profiles such as increased selectivity toward cancer cells and ameliorating toxicity against normal cells compared to existing Pt-based anticancers. Currently, several Ru complexes are under human clinical trials. For improvement in selectivity and toxicity associated with chemotherapy, Ru complexes as photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), which can selectively activate prodrug moieties in a specific region, have also been investigated. With all these studies on these interesting entities, new metallo-anticancer drugs to at least partially replace existing Pt-based anticancers are anticipated. This review covers a brief description of Ru-based anticancer complexes and perspectives.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) have been established in our daily life, for instance, in display screens and light-harvesting technologies, mainly owing to their peculiar opto-electronic features. However, toxicity of inorganic QDs, such as CdSe, CdTe, and perovskites, limits their applications in biological environments for medical diagnosis and bio-imaging purposes. A new generation of QDs called carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have been progressing rapidly over the past few years. CQDs have become as popular as other carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), due to their ease of preparation, ultra-small size, biocompatibility, and bright luminescence.

Abstract
The lateral flow immunosensor (LFI) is a widely used diagnostic tool for biomarker detection; however, its sensitivity is often insufficient for analyzing targets at low concentrations. Here, an electrochemiluminescent LFI (ECL-LFI) is developed for highly sensitive detection of troponin I (TnI) using Ru(bpy)32+ -loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (RMSNs). A large amount of Ru(bpy)32+ is successfully loaded into the mesoporous silica nanoparticles with excellent loading capacity and shows strong ECL signals in reaction to tripropylamine. Antibody-immobilized RMSNs are applied to detect TnI by fluorescence and ECL analysis after a sandwich immunoassay on the ECL-LFI strip. The ECL-LFI enables the highly sensitive detection of TnI-spiked human serum within 20 min at femtomolar levels (≈0.81 pg mL-1 ) and with a wide dynamic range (0.001-100 ng mL-1 ), significantly outperforming conventional fluorescence detection (>3 orders of magnitude). Furthermore, TnI concentrations in 35 clinical serum samples across a low range (0.01-48.31 ng mL-1 ) are successfully quantified with an excellent linear correlation (R2 = 0.9915) using a clinical immunoassay analyzer. These results demonstrate the efficacy of this system as a high-performance sensing strategy capable of capitalizing on future point-of-care testing markets for biomolecule detection.

Abstract
A doped polymer nanoparticle (dPNP) of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was prepared via doping the anionic polyelectrolyte polyacrylic acid (PAA) and the cationic polymer poly-ethyleneimine (PEI) into the polymer nanoparticle (PNP), which was self-assembled by Ru(bpy)32+ derivative-grafted PAA (PAA–Ru) with both cations and anions. The good electrical conductivity of the doped polyelectrolyte PAA enhanced the ECL intensity of PNP to 109.1%, and the involvement of a large number of tertiary amine groups of the doped PEI further enhanced that to 127.3%; meanwhile, doping low-molecular-weight PEI into PNP, while simultaneously doping high-molecular-weight PAA, avoided the precipitation of PAA and PEI, due to interaction of the two oppositely charged polymers; and these also made the self-assembly procedure more effective and the nanoparticle structure more stable than PNP and also led to the production of rich residual PAA chains on the surface of dPNP. The storage results showed that the average hydrated particle diameter kept almost constant (197.5–213.1 nm) during 15-day storage and that the nanoparticles have rich surface charge of −11.47 mV (zeta potential), well suspension stability and good dispersity without detectable aggregation in the solution during the storage. Therefore, the nanoparticle is quite suitable for the antibody labeling, immunoassay and the storage. As a result, a high-sensitive ECL immunoassay approach with good precision, accuracy and selectivity was established and an ultra-low detection limit of 0.049 pg mL−1 (S/N = 3) for magnetic bead-based detection of Hepatitis B surface antigen was observed.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely investigated as potential biomarkers for early clinical diagnosis of cancer. Developing an miRNA detection platform with high specificity, sensitivity, and exploitability is always necessary. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is an electrogenerated chemiluminescence technology that greatly decreases background noise and improves detection sensitivity. The development of a paper-based ECL biosensor further makes ECL suitable for point-of-care detection. Recently, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas13a as high-fidelity, efficient, and programmable CRISPR RNA (crRNA) guided RNase has brought a next-generation biosensing technology. However, existing CRISPR/Cas13a based detection often faces a trade-off between sensitivity and specificity. In this research, a CRISPR/Cas13a powered portable ECL chip (PECL-CRISPR) is constructed. Wherein target miRNA activates Cas13a to cleave a well-designed preprimer, and triggers the subsequent exponential amplification and ECL detection. Under optimized conditions, a limit-of-detection of 1 × 10-15 m for miR-17 is achieved. Through rationally designing the crRNA, the platform can provide single nucleotide resolution to dramatically distinguish miRNA target from its highly homologous family members. Moreover, the introduction of "light-switch" molecule [Ru(phen)2dppz]2+ allows the platform to avoid tedious electrode modification and washing processes, thereby simplifying the experimental procedure and lower testing cost. Analysis results of miRNA from tumor cells also demonstrate the PECL-CRISPR platform holds a promising potential for molecular diagnosis.

Dutta P, Han D, Goudeau B, Jiang D, Fang D, Sojic N. Reactivity mapping of luminescence in space: Insights into heterogeneous electrochemiluminescence bioassays. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 165:112372. [PMID: 32729504 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a powerful (bio)analytical method based on an optical readout. It is successfully applied in the heterogeneous format for immunoassays and imaging using the model and most widely used ECL system, which consists of the immobilized [Ru(bpy)3]2+ label with tripropylamine (TPA) as a coreactant. However, a major drawback is the significant decrease of the ECL intensity over time. Herein, to decipher the process responsible for this progressive loss of ECL signal, we investigated its electrochemical and photophysical properties by mapping the luminescence reactivity at the level of single micrometric beads. Polystyrene beads were functionalized by the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ dye via a sandwich immunoassay or a peptide bond. ECL emission was generated in presence of the very efficient TPA coreactant. Imaging both photoluminescence and ECL reactivities of different regions (located near or far from the electrode surface) of a [Ru(bpy)3]2+-decorated bead allows us to demonstrate the remarkable photophysical stability of the ECL label, even in presence of the very reactive electrogenerated TPA radicals. We show that the ECL vanishing correlates directly with the lower TPA oxidation current. Finally, we propose a simple electrochemical treatment, which allows to regenerate the electrode surface and thus to recover several times the strong initial ECL signal. The reactivity imaging approach provides insights into the ECL mechanism and the main factors governing the stability of the emission, which should find promising ECL applications in bioassays and microscopy.
