<p>The present application provides a method of electrochemically modifying labelled nanoparticles, the method comprising: (i) providing a working electrode, a counter electrode and the labelled nanoparticles suspended in a liquid carrier medium, wherein the liquid carrier medium is in contact with the working electrode; (ii) applying a potential between the working electrode and the counter electrode, such that, at the working electrode, the label of a labelled nanoparticle is reduced or oxidised during a collision of the labelled nanoparticles in suspension in the liquid carrier medium with the working electrode. The application also provides a method of electrochemically detecting labelled nanoparticles. The application also describes apparatus for carrying out the methods.</p> |
