Abstract:
Methods for detecting analytes are provided. A plurality of particles, each of which is coated with a capture agent having an affinity for the analyte is combined with the sample to form a plurality of analyte-particle complexes. The system also includes a transport arrangement for transporting the sample to the sensor surface, and optionally a magnetic field inducing structure constructed and arranged to establish a magnetic field at and adjacent to the sensor surface. The resonant sensor produces a signal corresponding to an amount of analyte-particle complexes that are bound to the sensor surface.
Abstract:
The disclosed sensor chip (120) includes a substrate (126) and a moving member (132) coupled to the substrate and disposed for movement relative to the substrate. The moving member (132) moves relative to the substrate in a first direction and in a second direction in response to movement of the substrate. The first direction is different than the second direction. The moving member includes a plurality of receptors (140). The receptors are configured for selectively binding to a first measurement.
