Abstract
An electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based assay for the quantitation of classical clinical chemistry analytes, where glucose, ethanol, carbon dioxide, cholesterol, as H.sub.2 O.sub.2 liberating systems coupled to a tris(bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) Ru(bpy).sub.3.sup.2+ luminophore generate an ECL signal, which can be detected spectrophotometrically or electrochemically. The H.sub.2 O.sub.2 present reacts with oxalate in the presence of Ru(bpy).sub.3.sup.2+ to give an ECL response.
