| 20110111973 | BROAD SPECIFICITY AFFINITY ARRAYS: A QUALITATIVE APPROACH TO COMPLEX SAMPLE DISCRIMINATION - Described is a method for discriminating complex biological samples using an array of discrete biological sensing elements immobilized onto a solid support in which constituents bound to the sensor array is directly determined by measuring the mass increase on the surface; data analysis of said method is performed using neutral network or statical based pattern recognition techniques. In a preferred embodiment the liquid sample is tested for the presence of soluble constituent(s) by contacting said sample with said sensor array under specific conditions, removing unbound sample constituent(s), determining the mass increase on the surface and comprising said mass increase data with a reference standard using pattern recognition software. | 05-12-2011 |
