Abstract:
1. A detection system prepared for detecting at least one target molecule, the detection system comprising: a first receptacle comprising a detection surface, the at least a first receptacle being substantially free of magnetic and/or electric labels prior to use; a second receptacle comprising, prior to use, at least one primary magnetic and/or electric label for enabling magnetic and/or electric label assisted detection, the at least one primary magnetic and/or electric label being adapted for interacting with the at least one target molecule; a first magnetic and/or electric field generator for applying a first magnetic field having a first orientation for transporting the at least one primary magnetic and/or electric label from the second receptacle to the detector surface of the first receptacle, thereby enabling detection of a primary magnetic and/or electric label assisted detection signal; a third receptacle connected to an interconnection channel between the first and second receptacle and comprising at least one secondary magnetic and/or electric label being adapted for interacting with the at least one primary magnetic and/or electric label; a second magnetic and/or electric field generator for applying a second magnetic field having a second orientation for transporting the at least one secondary magnetic and/or electric label from the third receptacle to the detector surface of the first receptacle, thereby enabling detection of a secondary magnetic and/or electric label assisted detection signal.
