Abstract
A method for sensing an analyte uses tethered particle motion. A functionalized particle has a first state in which the functionalized particle is bound to the surface and a second state in which the functionalized particle is not bound to the surface, where the functionalized particle switches between the first and second states depending on the presence and absence of the analyte, thereby changing motion characteristics of the functionalized particle depending on the presence of the analyte. A spatial coordinate parameter of the functionalized particle is measured by a detector, and a processor determines the presence/concentration of the analyte from changes in the measured spatial coordinate parameter.
