  • Sensor, sensor kit and method for detecting an analyte
    Patent number: 9746441
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to electro-optical sensors, to sensor kits and methods for detecting an analyte in a sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2017
    Assignee: SONY CORPORATION
    Inventors: Michaela Mai, Ingeborg Hospach, Nadejda Krasteva, Gabriele Nelles
  • Aptamer sensor device
    Patent number: 9157115
    Abstract: The present invention relates to aptazyme sensor devices comprising, in addition to the aptamer, ribozyme and communication components, a competitive inhibitory component with a metal nanoparticle or a competitive inhibitory and signalling component with a metal nanoparticle and a label, such that the enzymatic activity of the ribozyme is inhibited as long as the inhibitory or the inhibitory and signalling component is bound to the substrate binding site of the ribozyme. The aptazyme sensor devices of the invention have increased shelf-life and are suitable for the parallel detection of different ligands by using an array of aptazyme sensor devices utilizing inhibitory and inhibitory and signalling components with different metal nanoparticles. The present invention furthermore relates to the post-synthetic chemical modification of the aptamer component for avoiding unspecific binding.
