  • Process for detecting biological molecules
    Publication number: 20020045277
    Abstract: Process for qualitative and quantitative detection of an analyte present in a biological sample and in molecular form, in which process a sensor is provided with a substrate binding the analyte and in which in a first process step the sensor is loaded with the analyte and, in a subsequent process step, the total analyte mass bound by the sensor is measured, before in a further step the molecular weight of the analyte forming the total mass is measured.
