Tiivistelmä
Ultrasensitive biomedical analysis by concentration of biologically active microspheres was discussed. For the study, an ultrasonic particle concentrator (UPC) based on a standing-wave hemispherical resonator was combined with a confocal-laser scanning fluorescence detection. The UPC collects microspheres in plane, dense, single-layer aggregates at well-defined positions controlled by the acoustic resonator geometry and the acoustic frequency, far from the vessel boundary. It is suggested that two major factors that influence the sensitivity of a single-step homogeneous microsphere-based assay are the analyte-to-microsphere ratio and the concentration of microspheres in the sample.
