To our knowledge there have been no attempts to use a remote reporting reaction to circumnavigate the electrochemical detection limit or to develop a system in which the same luminophore can be used regardless of whether oxidation or reduction is performed in the detection cell. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a remote fluorogenic reporting reaction to measure charges close to the electrochemical limit of quantification and we compare the efficiencies of the reporting reaction under different experimental time-scales. This is a large step towards the quantitative conversion of sub-detection limit electrochemical signals into more sensitive photon signals. We also present an alternative system for remote reporting in which fluorescence is induced through microelectrodes in a closed bipolar electrochemical cell in three-electrode driving mode and measured using a conventional epifluorescence microscope. This allows for direct thermodynamic control of the electrochemistry of interest, whilst enabling the same fluorogenic reaction, the oxidation of AR, to be used to report on either reduction or oxidation processes. We also discuss the commonplace practice of chemical quenching of fluorophores in remote reporting systems and its implications on the performance of the reporting cell.
