Label-free signal-on ATP aptasensor based on the remarkable quenching of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium( ii ) electrochemiluminescence by single-walled carbon nanohorn

The quenching of electrochemiluminescence by single-walled carbon nanohorn has been demonstrated for the first time. Moreover, a sensitive, label-free, and signal-on electrochemiluminescence ATP aptasensor was developed using single-walled carbon nanohorn as both quencher and scaffold.
