Abstract

A method of detecting or quantifying a molecular target in a sample utilizing the molecular interaction between molecular targets, bead-bound probes, and support-bound probes. Laser light or a magnetic sensor may be used to detect the beads after the interaction. The detection of the beads indicates the presence of the molecular target in the sample.
