Patent ID: 11959871
Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER
Field: nan (nan)
Classification: CPC nan | IPC C  G

Claim 14:
15. A kit for detecting an analyte in a sample, the kit comprising:
an electrochemical cell comprising an electrochemical compartment configured to receive a solution comprising a sample to be tested, wherein the sample comprises an analyte and an interfering species, and first and second spaced apart electrodes configured to be disposed in the solution; and
a binding agent comprising a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and configured to bind an interfering species and be disposed in the solution, such that the solution comprises the binding agent;
wherein the electrochemical cell is configured to apply a voltage across the first and second electrodes thereby causing a current to flow through the first and second electrodes and the solution disposed in the electrochemical compartment and wherein the electrochemical cell is further configured to measure the current and/or voltage, and thereby detect the analyte.
