TY - JOUR A1 - Zhu, Shengchao A1 - Fischer, Tobias A1 - Wan, Wei A1 - Descalzo López, Ana Belén A1 - Rurack, Knut T1 - Luminescence amplification strategies integrated with microparticle and nanoparticle platforms T2 - Topics in current chemistry N2 - The amplification of luminescence signals is often the key to sensitive and powerful detection protocols. Besides optimized fluorescent probes and labels, functionalized nano- and microparticles have received strongly increasing attention in this context during the past decade. This contribution introduces the main signalling concepts for particle-based amplification strategies and stresses, especially the important role that metal and semiconductor nanoparticles play in this field. Besides resonance energy transfer, metal-enhanced emission and the catalytic generation of luminescence, the impact of multi-chromophoric objects such as dye nanocrystals, dendrimers, conjugated polymers or mesoporous hybrid materials is assessed. The representative examples discussed cover a broad range of analytes from metal ions and small organic molecules to oligonucleotides and enzyme activity.
