    摘要: A method for determining a salt concentration of a hydrocarbon fluid using a conductivity sensor and a hydrocarbon testing solution includes forming the hydrocarbon testing solution. The electropolymerizable monomer is operable to form a resultant associated polymer at a peak potential of the electropolymerizable polymer. The method includes introducing the hydrocarbon testing solution into the conductivity sensor. The method includes inducing a range of potential across the hydrocarbon testing solution such that at least a portion of the electropolymerizable monomer polymerizes. The range of induced potential includes the peak potential of the electropolymerizable polymer. The method includes detecting a range of electrical current associated with the range of potential induced. The method also includes the step of determining the salt concentration of the hydrocarbon fluid using the range of potential induced and the range of electrical current detected.

    摘要: In one aspect, a method for detection of a target in a sample based on the change of electrochemical cyclic voltammetry peak profile is provided. The method may involve at least two or more electroactive moieties (EAMs) comprising a transitional metal complex and an anchor group. Said transitional metal complex may be capable of reversibly or semi-reversibly transferring one or more electrons. Said anchor group may allow said EAMs to covalently attach to a solid support, forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the surface. At least one EAM may further comprises a capture ligand that can be recognized and bound by a target or a surrogate target. When a sample is introduced to an EAM, the interaction between said capture ligand and said target or surrogate target may lead to change of the properties of the SAM containing all EAMs involved. Said change can be detected by an electrochemical detection system.
