Mechanically Transduced Immunoassay (METRIS) Apparatus

Here we present a novel apparatus to work in concernt with the METRIS technique. We propose to develop a Helmholtz-Coil apparatus to drive the motion of magentic probes. Additionally, this structure will be supported with aluminum T-slots and will utilize an inverted light microscope. A slide holder will be manufactured to work with any number of well plate configurations to improve the throughput of this assay and in the future mutliple CMOS cameras will be integrated for simulationaneous visualization and data collection.
