Study finds antibody substitutes for biosensing
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
An electronic biosensor based on DNA aptamers developed by a team of researchers can detect biomarkers in whole blood samples without the use of reagents. DNA aptamers recognise marker proteins as well as antibodies, but they are simpler to prepare and more adaptable. Without any additional
