Magnecytometer For The Detection Of One Or More Analytes

摘要

A system and method for analyzing a sample of liquid having an NMR signal in response to a magnetic field for the presence of an analyte. Included is an NMR device having a testing section that is adapted to contain a liquid and apply a magnetic field to the liquid. A complex comprised of a conjugate having a field gradient bound to the analyte that is of sufficient magnitude to quench the NMR signal of the liquid when in the test section whereby the presence of the complex is determined by the absence of the NMR signal.

1. A method for analyzing a sample of liquid having an NMR signal in response to a magnetic field for the presence of an analyte, the method comprising the steps of:
conjugating said analyte with a conjugate, said conjugate having a field gradient that quenches the NMR signal of the liquid; placing said analyte in a sample testing section of a nuclear magnetic resonance device; applying a magnetic field to said analyte when said analyte is located in said sample testing section; and determining the presence of said analyte based upon said NMR signal of the liquid being quenched by said conjugate.
