Apparatus for sensing an analyte, the analyte being bound to at least one magnetic particle to form a labelled analyte, and wherein the apparatus includes a cavity having a sensor therein, wherein in use the cavity contains a fluid and at least one labelled analyte and a magnet system for generating a magnetic field having a field direction substantially orthogonal to at least part of the cavity to orientate the at least one labelled analyte in the cavity and a field gradient along at least part of the cavity to thereby urge the at least one labelled analyte along the cavity towards the sensor. |
