Abstract
A method for measuring bilirubin levels in a subject. The method can include the steps of providing a sample to be measured from the subject, wherein the sample comprises bilirubin bound to albumin; adding a release agent to the sample, the release agent configured to release the bound bilirubin from the albumin; measuring electrochemical data of the sample using an electrochemical cell; and determining a total serum bilirubin concentration of the sample using the electrochemical data. This method is capable of providing a simpler, faster, and more robust measurement when compared to traditional bilirubin assay methods.
