摘要:
Methods for detecting target biological analytes within sample material using acousto-mechanical energy generated by a sensor are disclosed. The acousto-mechanical energy may be provided using an acousto-mechanical sensor, e.g., a surface acoustic wave sensor such as, e.g., a shear horizontal surface acoustic wave sensor (e.g., a LSH-SAW sensor). The detection of the target biological analytes in sample material are enhanced by coupling of the target biological analyte (e.g., through the use of magnetic particles), application of a magnetic field to draw the target analyte to the sensor surface, and subsequent removal of the magnetic field before measuring detection.
