Abstract

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging, as a novel and powerful analytical method, possesses many distinct advantages, including simplicity, high controllability, high-throughput and visualization. In recent years, it has been used in developing portable and miniaturized ECL sensor, and made remarkable achievements. In this review, the progress of ECL imaging, focusing on array analysis and visualization of latent fingerprints, has been introduced briefly based on our recent investigations and an attempt has been made to propose the future research trend.
