Abstract
Methods are provided for the detection of an analyte in a sample using a bioelectronic sensor comprising a thin surfactant polymeric electrically conducting layer to which members of specific binding pairs are bound. Specific binding of analyte or analyte competitor to the bound specific binding pair member results in a change in the conductivity of the polymer. The resultant change in conductivity is related to the presence of analyte in the sample.
