  • System, method and kit for detection of analytes by production of electrochemical species
    Patent number: 10670595
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detection of analytes by production of electrochemical species are provided. Some embodiments of this invention relate generally to carbon biosensors for detecting an analyte in a biological sample. More specifically, this invention relates generally to immunoassays for detection of analytes utilizing electroactive compounds, and more particularly, relates to diagnostic assays based on signals from electroactive chemical undergoing redox cycling on electrosensor consisting of carbon, to detect analytes wherein a precomplex mixture is formed and a multi-step, or single-step, assay is performed, resulting in greater signal.
    Type: Grant
