Abstract
The invention relates to a method for identifying a first polymer (4, 7) which is bonded to a first phase (5) that reflects electromagnetic waves. Said method comprises the following steps: (a) bringing the first polymer (4, 7) into contact with a second polymer (3, 8), which is bonded to a solid second phase (1) by metallic clusters (2), said second phase being permeable to electromagnetic waves; (b) irradiating the second phase (1) with electromagnetic waves; and (c) determining the change in the properties of the reflected electromagnetic waves.
Claims32
A method for identifying a first polymer which is bound to a first phase which reflects electromagnetic waves, which method has the following steps:
- a) bringing the first polymer into contact with a second polymer which has affinity to the first polymer and which is bound, by way of metallic clusters, to a solid second phase which is pervious to electromagnetic waves,
- b) irradiating the second phase with electromagnetic waves, and
- c) detecting a change in the properties of the reflected electromagnetic waves,
- wherein the change in the properties of the reflected electromagnetic waves identifies the first polymer.
A device for identifying a first polymer which is bound to a first phase which reflects electromagnetic waves, characterized in that a second polymer, which has affinity to the first polymer, is bound, by way of metallic clusters, to the surface of a second phase which is pervious to electromagnetic waves.
