Enzyme-amplified immunoassays have been adapted for electrochemical measurement, using an NAD+/NADH redox cycle coupled to an electrode via the active site of diaphorase. Two amperometric methods are described, the first employs an organic conducting salt electrode, NMP+/TCNQ-; the second a platinum wire with ferricyanide as electron transfer mediator. In an immunoenzymometric assay for human prostatic acid phosphatase the sensitivities of the electrochemical methods were comparable to that achieved with the existing optical technique, but the dynamic range of the electrochemical assays was increased by at least two orders of magnitude. It is proposed that electrochemical enzyme-amplified immunoassays may eventually replace their optical counterparts.
