Abstract

Optical bioassays are challenged by the growing requirements of sensitivity and simplicity. Recent developments in the combination of redox cycling with different optical methods for signal amplification have proven to have tremendous potential for improving analytical performances. In this review, we summarized the advances in optical bioassays based on the signal amplification of redox cycling, including colorimetry, fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, chemiluminescence, and electrochemiluminescence. Furthermore, this review highlighted the general principles to effectively couple redox cycling with optical bioassays, and particular attention was focused on current challenges and future opportunities.
