1. A computer program product, on a computer readable storage medium, for controlling a molecular binding event detection system to detect one or more molecular binding events between a ligand and an antiligand, the molecular binding event detection system including a molecular binding layer coupled to a signal path, the computer program product comprising:

  • code that controls said molecular binding detection system to propagate a first test signal along said signal path, said signal path operable to support the propagation of electromagnetic signals at or above 10 MHz and comprising a transmission line, a ground element, and a dielectric layer interposed between said transmission line and said ground element, wherein said molecular binding layer is formed between at least a portion of said transmission line and at least a portion of said ground element and wherein said first test signal operates at one or more frequencies between 10 MHz and 1000 GHz, said first test signal electromagnetically couples to said molecular binding layer and exhibits a first signal response indicating detection of said binding event between said ligand and said antiligand.
