An electrochemical protein chip was microfabricated. Athin-film three-electrode system, including an array of 36platinum working electrodes, a set of thin-film Ag/AgClelectrodes, and platinum auxiliary electrodes, was integrated on a glass substrate. Capture antibodies wereimmobilized in a 4.5-nm-thick double layer of a hexamethyldisiloxane plasma-polymerized film. Because oftheir highly cross-linked network structure, the captureantibodies could be firmly immobilized. No nonspecificadsorption was observed during a series of proceduresto detect target proteins, and electrochemical cross talkbetween neighboring sites was negligible. The sandwichimmunoassay was conducted on a single chip using modelproteins,

-1-fetoprotein and
2-microglobulin. A distinctcurrent increase following the oxidation of hydrogenperoxide produced by the enzymatic reaction of glucoseoxidase was observed, which indicates that the captureproteins could actually bind the target proteins. Two kindsof protein were detected independently on multiple siteswith respective capture antibodies.
