Method and device for characterising and/or for detecting a bonding complex

摘要

A method of characterizing and/or identifying a binding complex, comprises the steps: ;preparing a first binding partner and a conjugate of a second and a third binding partner and preparing a fourth binding partner, ;forming an interlinkage of the binding partners, wherein the first binding partner with the second binding partner forms a sample complex and the third binding partner with the fourth binding partner forms a reference complex, ;applying a force to the interlinkage which results in unbinding of the sample complex or the reference complex, and ;determining which of the two binding complexes was unbound.
