USE - The system is useful in transportation and for detecting analytes. ADVANTAGE - The system: utilizes chip-based field effect biosensors, with beads to capture target moieties and bead control components to position the beads near the sensing surface, which efficiently and inexpensively transport and detect analytes; and utilizes removal circuitry which allows the non-incubated beads to be removed from the sensing surface prior to sensing of incubated beads.
