Charged bio-molecule/binding agent conjugate for biological capture

摘要

ELISA (and ELISA-like) procedures for detection of agents, such as bioagents, proteins and nucleic acids, incorporate electrically charged (3) recognition molecules (5) that bind to the specific agent (7) being sought, deposit the charged recognition molecules and bound suspect agent in a fluid, and incorporate an electric field (E) to move and/or position those charged molecules to specific locations within the solution during the immunoassay procedure.
