摘要
A portable reconfigurable instrument platform for electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based disposable screen-printed electrodes is described. The reader unit consists of a potentiostat and a photodiode as a light-to-current converter integrated in the same instrument. For powerful and versatile analog conditioning, a very recent electronic solution has been included: a Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) capable of reconfiguring filter and gain stages in real time. To check the instrument's performance as a sensor platform, two luminophores (tris(2,2鈥瞓ipyridyl)ruthenium(II) and luminol) and two representative correactants widely used, triethylamine and cholesterol, were selected. The calibration functions obtained show a linear dependence with dynamic ranges from 0.05 to 10.0 mg l鈭? for triethylamine, and 2.0路10鈭?-1.4路10鈭? M for cholesterol, with detection limits of 0.2 mg l鈭? and 1.1路10鈭? M, respectively, and a sensor-to-sensor reproducibility (relative standard deviation, RSD) of around 3.2%and 3.3%respectively at the medium-range level. This instrument offers a new advance in the portability of electrochemiluminescent determinations.
