Abstract

The application provides a method of detecting an analyte in a sample. The method comprises disposing a binding agent in an electrochemical compartment. The binding agent is configured to bind to an interfering species. The method further comprises disposing a solution comprising a sample in the electrochemical compartment. The sample comprises an analyte and the interfering species. The method then comprises applying a voltage across first and second spaced apart electrodes disposed in the solution, and thereby causing a current to flow through the solution between the electrodes. Finally, the method comprises measuring the current and/or voltage and thereby detecting the analyte.
