Research ProjectElectrogenerated Chemiluminescence (ECL) of Self-Assembled Nanospheres for Bioassay Applications
Our research involves using ECL emissions from novel self-assembling nanospheres in a sandwich type bio assay. The ECL active luminophores we utilize have been synthetically attached to monomers subunits that undergo carefully regulated ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) to form polymers units. These polymers upon being exposed to aqueous solutions have hydrophobic/ hydrophilic interactions that lead to the aggregation and formation of our nanospheres. These nanospheres are currently being characterized to assess their ECL efficiencies using different luminophores and polymer compositions. |
