  • Sensor
    Publication number: 20040259149
    Abstract: A sensor for detection of analyte within a sample comprising a panel microfabricated to form a track or tracks having one component of a protein motor pair immobilised to a base thereof; a probe that specifically binds to the analyte is attached to a mobile component of the protein motor pair located in the track or tracks and means is provided to detect movement and/or velocity of the mobile component; wherein presence of analyte is indicated by detecting a reduction of mobile component velocity or the cessation of mobile component movement in the presence of hydrolysable nucleotide.

  • Micro/nano-structures fabricated by laser ablation for micro-array applications
    Publication number: 20040224321
    Abstract: Micro/nano-structures fabricated by laser ablation and suitable for use in micro-arrays and micro-assays are described. In particular, micro-structures having combinatorial surfaces that allow molecules to attach to a localised area of the surface according to the characteristics of the localised area. Methods of fabricating such micro/nano-structures and their use in micro-arrays and micro-assays is also described.
