Abstract:
1. A method for measurement of properties of solid objects usable in analytical or diagnostic procedures, the method comprising: providing one or more probes, said probe being capable of interacting with structures on the solid object in question to form probe-object complexes; attaching the solid object to a solid support; providing a solution of the probes of interest; bringing said solution in contact with the solid object attached to the support, detecting the presence of interaction between probe and solid object and the rate of formation of probe-object complexes to form a curve representing the amount of probe bound to the solid object over time; approximating said curve with a weighted sum of all primitive curves in a predefined set of primitive binding curves, calculating the weight of each primitive binding curve so that said weights minimizes the difference between the detected binding curve and the sum of weighted primitive binding curves; and classifying said solid object for use in an analytic or diagnostic procedure by using criteria based on said weights, either alone or in combination with further data.
