A substrate, an apparatus and a method of determining the presence of a molecule

A bendable rod (20) has on one side a bio recognition layer (70) to which a molecule (95) may attach, whereby the rod will bend. On an opposite side, the rod has a plurality of gold dots (80) and reporter molecules (90) provided between or on the dots. When the rod is bending, the distance between t...

Zusammenfassung:A bendable rod (20) has on one side a bio recognition layer (70) to which a molecule (95) may attach, whereby the rod will bend. On an opposite side, the rod has a plurality of gold dots (80) and reporter molecules (90) provided between or on the dots. When the rod is bending, the distance between the dots will change, as will the surface enhanced Raman scattering or fluorescence of the reporter molecules, whereby the bending and thus the presence and/or concentration of the molecule is determined.
