Abstract

A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a system for detecting a presence of a macromolecule having one or more resonant frequencies. The system includes a pulse generator (a T-wave generator in the most preferred embodiment) for generating a detection profile having a detection set of T-waves and applying the detection profile to a sample including the macromolecule, at least one T-wave having a center frequency substantially centered on one of the resonant frequencies of the macromolecule, a detector for receiving the detection profile after the application of the detection profile to the sample, an analyzer, coupled to the detector, for determining a T-wave absorption profile by identifying which T-waves of the set of T-waves have been wholly or partially absorbed by the sample and to subsequently identify the macromolecule by use of the absorption profile.
