REUSABLE DETECTION SURFACES AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

The technology provided herein generally relates to reusable detection surfaces and methods for reusing a detection surface after using the detection surface in an assay for an analyte. In particular, the present application relates to a detection surface of an acoustic device, like flexural plate wave (FPW) device, wherein a first capture agent capable of binding an analyte is linked to the detection surface and remains linked to the detection surface upon removal of the bound analyte by chemical wash. Thus the detection surface can be reused in further assays. Furthermore the application claims a kit and a reusable cartridge with a fluid chamber, an acoustic device with detection surface and a first capturing agent.
