Abstract
Measurements at the single-entity level provide more precise diagnosis and understanding of basic biological and chemical processes. Recent advances in the chemical measurement provide a means for ultra-sensitive analysis. Confining the single analyte and electrons near the sensing interface can greatly enhance the sensitivity and selectivity. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in single-entity electrochemistry of single molecules, single particles, single cells and even brain analysis. The benefits of confining these entities to a compatible size sensing interface are exemplified. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of single entity electrochemistry are addressed.
