ACOUSTIC REFLECTION PROCESS FOR MOLECULAR SENSING AND APPLICATIONS OF THE PROCESS

A process for selectively sensing analyte molecules in a fluid by reflection of acoustic waves from a sensing surface of a sensing device to which analyte molecules bind is provided. The sensing surface has a plurality of receptors for which analyte molecules have an affinity. The process comprises:...

Zusammenfassung:	A process for selectively sensing analyte molecules in a fluid by reflection of acoustic waves from a sensing surface of a sensing device to which analyte molecules bind is provided. The sensing surface has a plurality of receptors for which analyte molecules have an affinity. The process comprises: i) contacting a fluid in which analyte molecules are suspected with the sensing surface; ii) directing acoustic waves at the sensing surface; and iii) detecting a change in a characteristic of acoustic waves reflected from the sensing surface due to analyte molecules binding the receptors.
