Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) is a highly efficient and cost-effective technique for detecting analytes in bioanalysis. ECL offers high sensitivity, precise control over light generation, and compatibility with various electrochemical setups. When combined with paper-based and microfluidic systems, ECL becomes an even more versatile and accessible platform for diagnostic testing. Paper-based ECL sensors are particularly promising due to their low cost, portability, and ease of use, making them an ideal tool for point-of-care testing. In this chapter, we explore the fundamentals of ECL and microfluidic systems and review recent advancements in paper-based and microfluidic ECL sensors, with a specific focus on their applications in bioanalysis.
