  • Title: Electrochemiluminescence of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium and its applications in bioanalysis: a review.
    Author: Wei H, Wang E.
    Journal: Luminescence; 2011; 26(2):77-85. PubMed ID: 21400654.
    Abstract:
    Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) [Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)] is an active research area and includes the synthesis of ECL-active materials, mechanistic studies and broad applications. Extensive research has been focused on this area, due to its scientific and practical importance. In this mini-review we focus on the bio-related applications of ECL. After a brief introduction to Ru(bpy)(3) (2+) ECL and its mechanisms, its application in constructing an effective bioassay is discussed in detail. Three types of ECL assay are covered: DNA, immunoassay and functional nucleic acid sensors. Finally, future directions for these assays are discussed.
