1. A method of signal amplification comprising:

  • contacting a colloidal suspension of conductive nanoparticles in a liquid sample with a working electrode;

    wherein the liquid sample comprises a plurality of electrogenerated chemiluminescent (ECL) moieties and one or more analytes; and

    detecting an ECL intensity vs. time transient of optical emissions by the ECL moieties resulting from redox reactions of the ECL moieties, with or without coreactants, wherein the ECL intensity vs. time transient is generated by a collision of a single nanoparticle with the working electrode.
