Nanogrid electrochemical sensor for detection of biochemical species by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

摘要

Improved electrochemical impedance spectroscopy assays are provided by electrodepositing metallic nanoparticles onto the working electrode for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The metallic nanoparticles provide improved assay sensitivity. Electrodeposition of the metallic nanoparticles firmly affixes them to the working electrode, thereby making it easier to clean the working electrode from one assay to the next assay without undesirably removing the metallic nanoparticles.
