362 Biosensors Based on Electrochemiluminescence
ECL mechanisms for improving the sensitivity and selectivity of ECL
biosensors, is continuous research motivity. The needs in biomedi-
cine, clinic diagnostics, and food and environmental monitoring are
promoting the development of the ECL biosensing area.
The improvement of selectivity for ECL biosensing can be
achieved by decreasing the overpotential of ECL emission, com-
bining the ECL emitter with specific biological recognition or inte-
grating ECL biosensing with separation techniques. The decrease of
overpotential requires a search
