Here, we describe a new approach for detecting redoxactive targets by electrochemical oxidation and reporting their presence by electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) based on electrochemical oxidation of Ru(bpy)3(2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and tripropylamine (TPA). This new strategy, which complements our previous reports of using ECL to signal the presence of targets undergoing electrochemical reduction, takes advantage of many of the attractive attributes of microfluidic-based electrochemical cells. These attributes include close proximity of multiple flow channels and electrodes, ability to move reagents through channels under laminar flow conditions, and the capacity to precisely place device components relative to one another using photolithography. Specifically, the microfluidic electrochemical sensor described here consists of three channels. The analyte and ECL reporting cocktail flow through separate channels, but they share a common anode. The cathode resides in a channel containing a sacrificial reductant. In this configuration, the target analyte competes with Ru(bpy)3(2+) and TPA to provide electrons for the reductant. Accordingly, in this competitive assay approach, the presence of the analyte is signaled as a lowering of the ECL intensity. In this report, the device performance characteristics are reported, and the detection of both ferrocyanide and dopamine is demonstrated at micromolar concentrations.
