  • Patent number: 10022109
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a detection device for the in vivo and/or in vitro enrichment of sample material, the detection device comprising a functional surface equipped with detection receptors. To further improve the enrichment of sample material by using a detection device of the aforementioned type, it is provided according to the invention that the functional surface has a three-dimensional structure with mutually facing functional sections which form spaces that can be filled with a sample liquid. Furthermore, the present invention provides for a use and for a method for the use of the detection device.

  • Publication number: 20130197334
    Abstract: The invention concerns a Biodetector with a functionalised surface for isolating molecules or cells from the human body. In order to improve a Biodetector of the type mentioned above such that the functionalised surface of the Biodetector or there upon enriched molecules or cells are exposed to a lower abrasion, and the biocompatibility of the Biodetector is improved, the Biodetector is designed to remove a fluid from the human body and absorb it into an inner space of the Biodetector, wherein the functionalised surface is oriented to the inner space of the Biodetector.
