MASS DETECTION THROUGH REDOX COUPLING

Redox of an analyte is coupled with redox of a precipitation precursor to generate a precipitating molecule that precipitates on the surface of a thin film bulk acoustic resonance (TFBAR) to allow mass detection of the precipitation molecule as a surrogate for the analyte. This disclosure describes,...

Zusammenfassung:Redox of an analyte is coupled with redox of a precipitation precursor to generate a precipitating molecule that precipitates on the surface of a thin film bulk acoustic resonance (TFBAR) to allow mass detection of the precipitation molecule as a surrogate for the analyte. This disclosure describes, among other things, detection of an analyte using a TFBAR operating at a high frequency without direct binding of the analyte on a surface of the TBAR. Detection of the analyte is indirect with a precipitating molecule serving as a surrogate for the analyte.
