Multicolor Microwave-Triggered Metal-Enhanced Chemiluminescence

摘要

There is an increasing demand for the use of light-producing chemical reactions for quantitative detection in biotechnology,especially with regard to chemiluminescence-based ligand-binding assays.The attractiveness of chemiluminescence as an analytical tool lies primarily in the simplicity of detection since most samples have no unwanted background luminescence and no optical filters are required to separate the excitation wavelengths and scatter.However,chemiluminescence-based detection is limited by the quantum efficiency of the chemiluminescence reaction or probe and the time before depletion of the reactants.In this regard,an increased luminescence yield would clearly benefit overall detect-ability and therefore,for bioassays,the sensitivity toward a particular analyte.
