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.enAdditive manufacturing, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Backscattered electrons, Bipolar electrochemistry, Bipolar electrodeUniversity of the Western Cape
