Abstract
In one aspect, a method for detection of a target in a sample based on the change of electrochemical cyclic voltammetry peak profile is provided. The method may involve at least two or more electroactive moieties (EAMs) comprising a transitional metal complex and an anchor group. Said transitional metal complex may be capable of reversibly or semi-reversibly transferring one or more electrons. Said anchor group may allow said EAMs to covalently attach to a solid support, forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the surface. At least one EAM may further comprises a capture ligand that can be recognized and bound by a target or a surrogate target. When a sample is introduced to an EAM, the interaction between said capture ligand and said target or surrogate target may lead to change of the properties of the SAM containing all EAMs involved. Said change can be detected by an electrochemical detection system.
