Recent advances in electrochemiluminescence devices for point-of-care testing

A dynamic progress of methodologies has increased demand for high performance detection technologies for point-of-care testing (POCT). Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is now established as an important, highly sensitive detection strategy for the development of POCT devices. In this short review, we summarize the recent advances of portable ECL devices, such as portable power sources, bipolar ECL devices, wireless ECL devices, ECL detectors, and microfluidic chips. Moreover, we address the remaining challenges and future perspectives to integrate ECL sensing devices into point-of-care solutions.
