Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a particle/target analyte in a sample, the method comprising: providing a device comprising a magnet configured to produce a magnetic field of less than or equal to 1.5 T, a vessel configured to hold a sample and being located with the magnetic field, and a radio frequency (RF) coil located proximate the magnetic field; introducing magnetic particles comprising target-specific moieties to a sample comprising a target analyte and non-target species, wherein the sample and the magnetic particles are within the vessel; and non-optically detecting at least one particle/target analyte complex in the sample in the vessel by activating the RF coil proximate the magnetic field to provide energy at a frequency sufficient for nuclear magnetic resonance detection of the at least one particle/target analyte complex in the vessel.
