Abstract: Embodiments provided herein relate to methods, compositions and systems for rapid determination of the bioavailability of a therapeutic biologic in a sample from a subject.
Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and systems are described for performing label-free monitoring of processes. In one aspect, a label-free monitoring system includes an array of label-free optical sensors to detect an optical signal in response to synthesis of one or more target genetic structures. Each label-free optical sensor is functionalized with a respective target genetic structure. The system also includes a fluid flow control module that includes fluid receiving units to provide paths for different fluids to flow into the fluid flow control module and at least one switch connected to the fluid receiving units to selectively switch among the fluid receiving units to receive a select sequence of the fluids through the fluid receiving units. The select sequence of the fluids includes at least a dNTP or base.
Abstract: Various embodiments are drawn to systems and methods for detecting an analyte of interest in a sample including an optical sensor, a capture probe attached to a surface of the optical sensor wherein the capture probe is capable of binding to the analyte to form a duplex or complex, and an antibody capable of binding to the analyte, duplex, or complex. In several embodiments, systems and methods further include a particle attached to the antibody or capable of binding to the antibody. In several embodiments, systems and methods for analyte detection feature one or more of the following: high detection sensitivity and specificity, scalability and multiplex capacity, ability to analyze large analytes, and ability to detect or measure multiple individual binding events in real-time.
