“…When target binding events occur, there is a perturbation on the electrochemical activity associated with the C r signal, as illustrated in Fig. 1f, thus enabling sensitive analytical curves to be constructed using C r as an effective transduction signal (Fernandes et al, 2015(Fernandes et al, , 2013Lehr et al, 2014;Marques et al, 2015;Santos and Bueno, 2016;Santos et al, 2014Santos et al, , 2015aSantos et al, , 2015b. In other words, capacitive approach has the advantage of not requiring the redox probe pre-doping of the biological samples, making it particularly appealing for point-of-care applications (Patil et al, 2014).…”
