Quenching of ECL

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((BRIEFSMOLECULAR))

Abstract

ECL quenching may play an important role in designing new methodologies for sensitive detection of analytes. Quenching proposes prospective advantages in the framework of ECL and has acquired considerable attention and is inextricably associated with the selectivity of luminophore and co-reactant. It can be used in diverse fields in the detection of many analytes, DNA detection, and hybridization, etc. Processes, reactions, and equations involving quenching are discussed as well.
