  • Electrochemical reporter system for detecting analytical immunoassay and molecular biology procedures
    Patent number: 6682648
    Abstract: An immunochemical and molecular biologic endpoint reporter system in which reaction products, coupled to electrochemically active molecules susceptible to redox recycling or coupled to enzymes capable of proportional generation of said electrochemically active molecules, are detected and/or quantitated using amperiometry in conjunction with a silicon microchip possessing a closely spaced interdigitated array of nobel metal electrodes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 1998
    Date of Patent: January 27, 2004
    Assignee: University of Southern California
