    摘要: The invention relates to a method and associated apparatuses (100) for the detection of magnetic particles (MP) in a sample chamber (111). The method comprises the determination of a “particle-parameter” that is related to the amount of magnetic particles (MP) in a first detection region (P, C), the determination of a “cluster-parameter” that is related to the degree of clustering of magnetic particles (MP) in a second detection region (P, C), and the evaluation of the particle-parameter based on the cluster-parameter. Various apparatuses are disclosed that can be applied in said method. In one apparatus (100), a magnetic field (B) is generated in the sample chamber (111) in such a way that it has different inclinations in a first and second field region (P, C) and/or that it is oblique to the binding surface (112) in at least one field region. Magnetic particles (MP) are then detected in said first and second field region and/or in said at least one field region before and after a permanent switch-off of the inclined magnetic field. The resulting detection signals are related to each other to determine a cluster-parameter. In other embodiments, a cluster-parameter may be determined from light transmission measurements during the application of a magnetic field that is switched on and off.

    摘要: A method for controlling the movement of magnetic or magnetizable objects (10) in a biosensor cartridge. The method comprises the step of providing a biosensor cartridge with a laterally extending sensor surface (A) and at least a magnetic field generating means (20, 30, 30′) for generating a magnetic field with a field gradient substantially perpendicular to the sensor surface (A). The magnetic field generating means (20, 30, 30′) are alternatingly actuated such that the generated magnetic field directs alternatingly the magnetic or magnetizable objects (10) substantially perpendicular to the sensor surface (A) away and toward the sensor surface, wherein pulse lengths of the alternating actuation are adjusted such that a lateral movement of magnetizable objects along the laterally extending sensor surface is substantially avoided.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and a device (100) for determining the amount of a target component (2) in a sample, wherein magnetic particles (2) can bind to a contact surface (4) with kinetics that depend on the sample-amount of the target component. The method comprises at least two washing steps during which magnetic particles (2) are magnetically moved away from the contact surface (4) and corresponding measurements of the remaining amount of magnetic particles (2) at the contact surface (4). The amount of target component in the sample is estimated from at least one of such measurement results. The measurement allows to determine also high concentrations of target component for which the sensor surface (4) is saturated in a steady-state.
