A molecular sensor using temporal discrimination

A sensor device is disclosed, which depends on discrimination in time between groups of binding events of target particles to nano-electrodes. The target particles may be in the liquid phase or in suspension. The nano-electrodes form part of a sensor arrangement having a plurality of sensors. The se...

Summary:A sensor device is disclosed, which depends on discrimination in time between groups of binding events of target particles to nano-electrodes. The target particles may be in the liquid phase or in suspension. The nano-electrodes form part of a sensor arrangement having a plurality of sensors. The sensor device is arranged such that different species of target particles arrive at the nano-electrodes at different times, using techniques such as chromatography or application of a field such as an electric, magnetic, or gravitational field. The particles may be labelled or unlabeled. The invention is particularly suited, but not limited, to sensing bioparticles.
