Patent Images
1. A method of detecting an enzyme protein target analyte in a sample comprising:
- a) applying a first input signal to an assay complex comprising;
i) a redox active complex comprising;
1) a redox active molecule;
2) an enzyme substrate that will interact with the enzyme protein target analyte; and
ii) said enzyme protein target analyte,wherein said enzyme substrate is covalently attached to a first measuring electrode via a spacer, and wherein said first measuring electrode comprises;
a passivation agent monolayer comprising at least a covalently attached first passivation species and a covalently attached second passivation species comprising said enzyme substrate; and
b) detecting a change in the faradaic impedance of the system as a result of the interaction of the enzyme substrate with said enzyme protein target analyte, if present.
