Self-propelled micromotors offer considerable promise to solve analytical challenges. This communication will present different strategies demonstrating the potential of Janus micromotors for new electroanalytical and optical biosensing applications. We will describe first the use of Janus micromotors to assist electrochemical measurements using strip-based microvolume electrodes. Secondly we will present a novel optical detection strategy for the determination of bacterial endotoxins based on actively moving graphene quantum dots based Janus micromotors.
