Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence

This book primarily focuses on the fundamentals of and new developments in electrochemiluminescence (ECL), presenting high-quality content and explicitly aiming to summarize and disseminate the current state-of-the-art. The topics covered include the fundamental theory, mechanism, types of reactions involved, and the instrumental techniques. The book also examines the applications of ECL in many of the emerging fields of science, such as bioanalytical, analytical, clinical, pharmaceutical, forensic, military, microchip, µTAS, and LED. It will be invaluable to bioanalysts, drug analysts, pharmaceutical researchers and other professionals worldwide, as well as to other interested readers.

Introduction.- Generation Pathways of Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence.- ECL Instrumentation.- ECL Luminophores.- Coupling of ECL with Different Techniques.- Quenching of ECL.- Applications of Electrochemiluminescence.
