Since the 1960s, researchers have turned to chemiluminescence-based techniques for biologically relevant assays with high sensitivity and broad adaptability.1 The ease and dependability of such techniques has contributed to their widespread adoption across applications, however conventional detection methods often rely on manual imaging approaches, which can be time consuming, tedious, and prone to user error. Novel detection tools that streamline image acquisition and analysis promise to progress a multitude of robust methods into the automated assay realm.2

Common chemiluminescence applications include assays that use chemical dyes to stain and illuminate DNA or proteins, such as gel electrophoresis-based methods and immunoblotting analyses. After a chemical reaction excites electrons in the dye, the electrons return to ground state and emit photons of light from the sample. Scientists then detect chemiluminescence through sensitive cameras that capture different light wavelengths.1,2
