Feasibility studies of simultaneous multianalyte amperometric immunoassay based on spatial resolution.
A multianalyte immunoassay concept based on the geometric separation of different analyte-specific antibodies has been demonstrated. The assay and amperometric detection are done in a cell with two working electrodes controlled at the same potential, and the amperometric signal at each electrode is monitored. The distance between any two adjacent electrodes in this prototype is 2.5 mm, and during the course of amperometric measurement, the product formed at one electrode does not reach the other working electrode within 20 min after the addition of enzyme substrate. Thus, the method relies on the spatial resolution between the different antibodies being such that measurements are taken before cross-interference due to diffusion can occur. Identical enzyme labels (alkaline phosphatase, ALP) and substrates (p-aminophenyl phosphate, PAPP) are used for all analytes. Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgG was immobilized by passive adsorption. Our studies showed that this concept is feasible and can be applied to the simultaneous measurement of multiple analytes.[1]References
