Description
Electrochemical (EC) methods provide a reliable platform for neurotransmitter detection, offering high sensitivity and rapid response times. However, detection accuracy and signal amplification remain a major problem. By implementing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold electrode surfaces to help us explore a new EC reaction mechanism that aims to enhance neurotransmitter sensitivity. The goal is to create a stable and efficient electron transfer system that amplifies oxidation signals while minimizing background interference. By investigating how redox cycling can be optimized within this framework, we intend to create a more reliable approach for monitoring neurotransmitters at physiological concentrations.
