20090117574SELF-ACTUATING SIGNAL PRODUCING DETECTION DEVICES AND METHODS - An assay system is provided of great sensitivity and portability where the presence of a specific target in a sample, as well as its concentration (qualification and quantification) is detected by reason of a potential or voltage in a closed circuit, built up a redox reaction. The reaction is produced by binding a capture moiety to an enzymatic redox reaction partner, allowing the capture moiety to bind to any target in the sample, and washing any such bound target. The bound target, if not immobilized, may be immobilized through use of a second capture moiety. Substrate for the enzyme is then added. The action of the enzyme upon the substrate frees electrons, creating a potential across an anode and cathode which may be separated by a membrane.05-07-2009
20090107852SELF-ACTUATING SIGNAL PRODUCING DETECTION DEVICES AND METHODS - An assay system is provided of great sensitivity and portability where the presence of a specific target in a sample, as well as its concentration (qualification and quantification) is detected by reason of a potential or voltage in a closed circuit, built up a redox reaction. The reaction is produced by binding a capture moiety to an enzymatic redox reaction partner, allowing the capture moiety to bind to any target in the sample. In a homogenous assay, the method further comprises washing any such bound target. The bound target may be immobilized through use of a second capture moiety. Substrate for the enzyme is then added. The action on the substrate by the enzyme generates electrons, creating a potential across an anode and cathode which may be separated by a membrane.04-30-2009
