Funded Activity Summary

Multi-Colour Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence. This project plans to explore a new approach to chemical detection, in which molecules that emit different coloured light can be selectively switched on or switched off via the applied electrode potential. This would enable unprecedented numbers of simultaneous (multiplexed) detection events for time-critical analytical applications such as clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and biodefense assays. These assays could be performed on low-cost microfluidic platforms operated by portable consumer devices such as mobile phones. Expected outcomes may provide new capabilities in rapid screening for disease biomarkers, environmental pollutants and bioterrorism agents, using simple, low-cost, portable instrumentation.
