Analytical applications of chemiluminescence detection systems based on magnetic microparticles and nanoparticles (MMP-CL and MNP-CL) have attracted growing interest in research and commercial fields. This article reviews the literature on the analytical applications of MMP-CL and MNP-CL systems, illustrated by different reaction strategies, such as immunoassay and hybridization labels in diverse fields (e.g., clinical and pharmaceutical, environmental or food analysis).
