| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for an immunoassay technique that uses amperometric measurements to rapidly analyze different pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, toxins, and parasites. A conductive membrane is used to provide support for antibody immobilization and serve as a working electrode. The proposed technique is adaptable for use with different materials so as to form a membrane having a pore size that is suited to the particular application. A compact and simple disposable element can be used. The immunoassay can be automated using microprocessor control so as to reduce the amount of human intervention in sample analysis. |
