Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004031721A2] Methods and devices are provided for detecting and confirming the identity of analytes such as threat agents, particularly analytes which are air or fluid borne. The methods comprise providing an affinity reagent having a known charge density in a medium which is capable of conducting electrical current. Analyte identity is probed by controlled manipulation of the charge density of the affinity reagent-analyte complex using a variety of methods.
