Patent-Title: Methods and systems for detecting biomolecular binding using terahertz radiation-United States Patent 8852955

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8852955.html

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods and systems for detecting biomolecular binding events using gigahertz or terahertz radiation. The methods and systems use low-energy spectroscopy to detect biomolecular binding events between molecules in an aqueous solution. The detected biomolecular binding events include, for example, nucleic acid hybridizations, antibody/antigen binding, and receptor/ligand binding.
