Abstract
The invention relates to a method of determining the presence or absence of a target analyte in a sample. The method comprises immobilising any target analyte present in the sample on a surface; contacting the surface with: (i) a first detection agent that binds specifically to the target analyte; and (ii) a reporter polynucleotide, wherein the reporter polynucleotide is bound to, or binds to, the first detection agent; and contacting a transmembrane pore with any reporter polynucleotide that has been immobilised on the surface, wherein the reporter polynucleotide is immobilised on the surface by binding of the first agent to the target analyte, and using the transmembrane pore to detect the reporter polynucleotide, thereby determining the presence or absence of the target analyte in the sample.
