Abstract
Electrochemoluminescent detector for analyzing a biochemical or biological substance, comprising at least a cell ( ) generating and detecting the electrogenerated chemoluminescence, which includes: at least a working electrode ( ) produced on a substrate ( ); electric power supply ( ) connected to the electrode; a photodiode ( ) detecting the light generated by electrochemoluminescence; and a device for measuring the signal delivered by the photodiode. The photodiode ( ) is produced by being integrated in the substrate ( ). The cell comprises two interdigital working electrodes protected by a passivation layer ( ) leaving part of their top surface in contact with outside. An intermediate layer ( ) of dielectric material is inserted between the electrodes and the substrate ( ).
