Abstract
A method is provided for continuously monitoring for the presence or quantity of an analyte in a flowing liquid stream. The method involves binding an analyte-specific receptor species to the surface of a piezoelectric substrate, contacting the surface bound receptor species with the flowing liquid stream and quantitating the presence of the analyte. A novel apparatus for detecting the presence of an analyte in a liquid chromatography eluant is provided as well.
