New biosensing strategies based on bipolar electrochemiluminescence

化学分析是我们社会的一项重要活动，但在很大程度上仅限于科学实验室，并通过复杂的仪器进行。这项提案所设想的突破性技术将为非科学家也能使用的简单、低成本测试铺平道路。开发用于从污染监测到健康测试等各种应用的小型便携式传感器，将使普通人能够了解其环境和自身分子化合物的浓度。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工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.
