  • Electrochemical proximity assay
    Patent number: 9335292
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes an electrochemical proximity assay (ECPA) which leverages two aptamer or antibody-oligonucleotide probes and proximity-dependent DNA hybridization to move a redox active molecule near an electrically conductive base. The ECPA of the present disclosure produces rapid, quantitative results, enabling point-of-care use in the detection of biomarkers of disease.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 12, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2016
    Assignee: AUBURN UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Jiaming Hu, Tanyu Wang, Christopher J. Easley, Curtis G. Shannon
