Abstract

The kinetics of affinity capturing of fluorescent nanoparticles by magnetic microparticles is investigated for biosensing purposes. The capturing of nanoparticles is recorded using fluorescence microscopy with single target resolution. Comparing the binding kinetics by diffusion versus fluid vortex mixing, a six times enhancement of the reaction rate constant is observed, which implies that transport plays a significant role in the capturing process. The results represent a benchmark for further investigations on controlled mixing and target catching using actuated magnetic particles for biosensing.
