Claims22
A sensor apparatus for testing a biological sample, comprising:
- at least one capture molecule for bonding an analyte, the capture molecule being bonded to a surface of the sensor apparatus and comprising
- a label for detecting the analyte.
Method for detecting an analyte by bonding the analyte to capture molecules, the capture molecules being bonded to a sensor apparatus and comprising at least one label for detecting the analyte,
- comprising bonding the analyte to the capture molecules, the bonding changing the state of the label and detecting the change in the state of the label by at least one of chemical and physical methods.
A method for detecting or identifying at least one analyte in a biological sample, using a sensor apparatus comprising at least one capture molecule for bonding the analyte, the capture molecule being bonded to a surface of the sensor apparatus, comprising using a label for detecting the analyte.
An analysis system for testing a biological sample containing at least one analyte, the system comprising a sensor apparatus comprising at least one capture molecule for bonding the analyte,
- the at least one capture molecule being bonded to a surface of the sensor apparatus and comprising a label for detecting the analyte,
- wherein the at least one capture molecule is a hairpin probe and comprises a nucleic-acid sequence for bonding the analyte.
