Abstract:
The electrochemical-dependent and unstable intensity of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) makes it difficult to identify ECL in a waveband-resolved way on photomultiplier tube (PMT)-based traditional ECL analyzers. Herein, a dual-color ECL strategy is proposed by transferring ECL to two PMTs in a waveband-resolved way via dichroic mirror, simultaneously detecting wild-type p53 (WTp53) in near-infrared wavebands with CdTe (λmax = 782 nm) nanocrystals as tag and mutant p53 (MUp53) in eye-visible wavebands with CdSe (λmax = 554 nm) nanocrystals as tag. The two targets can be color-selectively determined from 10 fM to 100 pM with a limit of detection at 5 fM for MUp53 and from 50 fM to 100 pM with a limit of detection at 10 fM for WTp53, respectively. The dichroic mirror-involved ECL setup is easy to assemble for popularization, which would not only eventually enable PMT-based multiple-color ECL analysis but also make it is possible to directly determine the changed level of tumor suppressors for cancer diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation via one-pot ECL assay.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
