  • First Online:
Luminescence Applied in Sensor Science

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((TOPCURRCHEM,volume 300))

Abstract

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.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The IUPAC-approved term for FRET is Förster RET [14]. ‘Fluorescence resonance energy transfer’ is commented on as the: Term frequently and inappropriately applied to resonance energy transfer in the sense of Förster-resonance energy transfer (FRET), which does not involve the emission of radiation. In contrast, the literature uses both terms Förster RET and fluorescence RET with the latter even dominating in the biochemical and bioanalytical communities. Despite the correct classification by the IUPAC, the scientist is in a dilemma when trying to distinguish between FRET, BRET and CRET, all Förster-type processes which differ only in the properties of the donor. Interestingly, BRET and CRET are not included in the IUPAC Photochemistry Commission’s recommendations. In the present case, it seems more appropriate for us to use FRET for a RET involving a potentially fluorescent donor and BRET (CRET) for a RET involving a potentially bioluminescent (chemiluminescent) donor here.
