Abstract
We present an instrumental development to implement electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microanalysis using printed circuit board (PCB) technology. PCB gold macro-(10 mm 2 ) and micro- (0.09 mm 2 ) electrodes and two ECL microfluidic devices are designed, fabricated and tested via luminol ECL detection. Potential modulation is performed between 0.7 and 0 V vs. Ag/AgCl for luminol oxidation, thus giving rise to on/off ECL responses in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Synchronous detection is adopted to allow weak ECL signal recovery at a very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The detection limit obtained with the two ECL microfluidic devices is 50 nM and 100 nM H 2 O 2 for macroelectrodes and microelectrodes, respectively.
