Abstract

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a light-emitting process generated by electrochemical redox reactions and has been widely used as an analytical tool, especially in the field of biosensing, that is, immunoassays and DNA-probe assays. Thus, the scope of this work was to develop a simple, sensitive ECL immunosensor for cardiac injury and to study and present insights into newly fabricated platforms for bioanalytical applications by using ECL as detection mechanism.
