Title:
試料中の生物物質を検出するためのシステム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005508198
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a detection cartridge containing a housing defining a first chamber and a detection chip within the first chamber defined by the housing. The detection chip includes spaced apart electrical conductors fabricated on a substrate and capture probes attached to the conductors such that a gap exists between the capture probes on the spaced apart conductors. A sample, potentially containing a target molecule, can be analyzed for the presence of that target molecule by determining whether the gap has been bridged. Also disclosed is a system for detecting a target molecule in a sample which includes a detection cartridge and a support unit into which the detection cartridge can be positioned to carry out a procedure for detecting the target molecule in a sample. A method of detecting a target molecule using this system is also disclosed.
