Abstract

This paper reports a novel immunoassay using an electro-microchip to detect the immuno-reaction signal and the silver enhancement reaction to magnify the detection signal. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (ANPs) play the roles of a label for antigen or antibody and a catalyst for silver precipitation. The change of the impedance to corroborate immuno-reaction is detected, amplified and analyzed. The results show that using the gap size of 20 μm electro-chip has the best sensitivity. The relationship between concentration and signal is established and the antigen detection limit is 100 ng/mL.
