Abstract

Novel bipyridyl-osmium complex conjugates and their use in electrochemical assays are described. The redox reversible-osmium complexes can be prepared to exhibit unique reversible redox potentials and can thus be used in combination with other electroactive redox reversible species having redox potentials differing by at least 50 millivolts in electrochemical assays designed for use of multiple electroactive species in the same cell and in the same sample without interference between the two or more redox coupled conjugate systems.

Claims

1. A method for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a sample of a liquid, said method comprising

contacting said sample with predetermined amounts of

(1) a specific binding partner for said analyte, and

(2) a detectable compound of the formula:

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the liquid sample is diluted blood, the analyte is glycosylated hemoglobin and the group B in the detectable compound comprises a glycosylated peptide of the formula

Gluc-Val-His-Leu-Thr (SEQ. ID NO. 1).

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of determining the concentration of total hemoglobin or unglycosylated hemoglobin in the liquid sample, and calculating the ratio of the concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin to unglycosylated hemoglobin.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the concentration of the unbound detectable compound is determined by dc voltammetry using an interdigitated microarray electrode.
