METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NANOPARTICLE ELECTROGENERATED CHEMILUMINESCENCE AMPLIFICATION

摘要

Methods, compositions and kits for analyzing a chemical analyte using an electrochemical cell connected to a mea-suring apparatus are provided. The electrochemical cell contains a solution having one or more conductive or redox active NPs (nanoparticles), one or more chemical analytes, and an indicator. In addition, the electrochemical cell contains one or more electrodes in communication with the solution. One or more catalytic ECL properties are generated by the interaction of the one or more conductive or redox active NPs and the liquid sample and measured at the one or more electrodes or with an optical detec-tion system.
