Disclosed is a device for detecting at least one ligand contained in a sample that is to be analyzed. Said device comprises an optical waveguide, on the surface of which at least one ligand-specific receptor is directly or indirectly immobilized. The ligand bonds to said receptor during contact therewith. The inventive device comprises at least one optical source of radiation for injecting excitation radiation into the waveguide, the radiation being used for exciting emission of luminescence radiation in accordance with the bonding of the ligand to the receptor. At least one radiation receiver is integrated into the semiconductor substrate of a semiconductor chip so as to detect the luminescence radiation. The waveguide is integrated in a monolithic manner into the semiconductor substrate or is applied thereupon as a wave-guiding layer.

A process for structuring a surface layer of an object includes applying bio-components to the surface of the object that carry away surface material. The bio-components are contained in at least one of a nutrient and osmotic protective medium. The at least one of a nutrient and osmotic protective medium having the bio-components contained therein is removed after the surface material is carried away from the object surface.
摘要:
In a method for detecting at least one ligand that is suspected to be contained in the fluid that is being tested, at least one marker that is suitable for binding to the ligand is placed in the fluid. At least one measured value for the diffusion rate of the marker in the fluid is acquired. In addition, a reference value range for the diffusion rate exhibited by a complex consisting of at least the ligand and the marker that is bound to it in the fluid is provided. The measured value is compared with the reference value range and the presence of the ligand in the fluid is deduced depending on the results of this comparison.
摘要:
A chip includes a memory that stores confidential data, a power supply device to apply a voltage and/or or a current, and an interface to transfer the data from and/or to another device. To secure the data in the memory, the power supply device is an integrated component of the chip. The power supply device is equipped with a limited, non-replenishable fuel reservoir so that data can be maintained in the memory over a limited service life. In other embodiments, voltage provided by the power supply device can also be employed actively to delete data in the memory in the event of unauthorized access to the chip.
摘要:
In a process for determining the concentrations of ligands (9, 10) in a sample to be analyzed, ligands (9) of a first ligand type are bond-specific for receptors (6) of a first receptor type, and ligands (10) of a second ligand type are bond-specific for receptors (8) of a second receptor type. A first receptor (6) of the first receptor type is immobilized at least one first test site (5), and a second receptor (8) of the second receptor type is immobilized at a second test site (7) on a substrate (23). A third receptor (11) of the second receptor type is mixed with the sample in such a way that it is present in a specified concentration in the mixture that is obtained in this manner. The mixture is caused to contact the substrate in such a way that at least one ligand (9) of the first ligand type can bind to the first receptor (6) and ligands (10) of the second ligand type can bind to the second receptor (8) and to the third receptor (11). Thereupon components of the mixture that are not bound to an immobilized receptor (6, 8) are removed from the substrate. Thereupon a first measurement signal that is dependent on the concentration of the ligand (9) bound to the first receptor (6) and a second measurement signal that is dependent on the concentration of the ligand (10) bound to the second receptor (8) are generated. With the aid of the first measurement signal the concentration of the ligand (9) of the first ligand type in the sample is determined and, with the aid of the second measurement signal and of the concentration of the third receptor (11) in the mixture, the concentration of the ligands (10) of the second ligand type in the sample is determined.
