Blu-ray based optomagnetic aptasensor for detection of small molecules

Blu-ray based optomagnetic aptasensor for detection of small molecules.

This paper describes an aptamer-based optomagnetic biosensor for detection of a small molecule based on target binding-induced inhibition of magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) clustering. For the detection of a target small molecule, two mutually exclusive binding reactions (aptamer-target binding and aptamer-DNA linker hybridization) are designed. An aptamer specific to the target and a DNA linker co...

Designing a Label Free Aptasensor for Detection of Methamphetamine

A label-free electrochemical nucleic acid aptasensor for the detection of methamphetamine (MA) by the immobilization of thiolated self-assembled DNA sequences on a gold nanoparticles-chitosan modified electrode is constructed. When MA was complexed specifically to the aptamer, the configuration of the nucleic acid aptamer switched to a locked structure and the interface of the biosensor changed...

Optical Disk with Blu-Ray Technology

Blu-ray is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers. The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. This extra capacity combined with the use...

Electrochemical aptasensor for tetracycline detection.

An electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the detection of tetracycline using ssDNA aptamer that selectively binds to tetracycline as recognition element. The aptamer was highly selective for tetracycline which distinguishes minor structural changes on other tetracycline derivatives. The biotinylated ssDNA aptamer was immobilized on a streptavidin-modified screen-printed gold electrode, a...
