New biosensing strategies based on bipolar electrochemiluminescence

化学分析是我们社会中的一项重要活动，它在很大程度上局限于科学实验室，并使用复杂的仪器进行。 该提案中设想的突破性技术将为非科学家可以使用的简单，低成本的测试铺平道路。开发小型便携式传感器，用于从污染监测到健康测试的各种应用，将使普通人能够了解其环境和自身中分子化合物的浓度。这将刺激与环境测试和早期疾病诊断有关的经济和社会效益，并为澳大利亚生物技术产业创造新的商业机会。

Chemical analysis is a vital activity in our society, which is to a large extent confined to scientific laboratories and carried out with complex instrumentation. The breakthrough technology envisioned in this proposal will pave the way for simple, low-cost tests which can be used by non-scientists. The development of small, portable sensors for applications ranging from pollution monitoring to health testing, will enable ordinary people to gain knowledge about the concentrations of molecular compounds in their environments and in themselves. This will stimulate economic and social benefits related to environmental testing and early disease diagnosis and generate new commercial opportunities for the Australian biotechnology industry.
