IVD test is a crucial component of clinical care that performs a diagnostic test on biological
samples that have been taken from a living body, such as blood, urine, and tissue.(1) Such …

It has been more than two decades since aptamer and the systematic evolution of ligands by
exponential enrichment (SELEX) method were discovered by Larry Gold and Andrew …

Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that selectively bind to target molecules. Most
aptamers are obtained through a combinatorial biology technique called SELEX. Since …

Optical sensors based on excitation of surface plasmons, commonly referred to as surface
plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, belong to the group of refractometric sensing devices …

Sensors are devices that respond to physical or chemical stimuli and produce detectable
signals. 1r4 They are a critical extension of human perception of the world in many aspects …

Biosensors are of great significance because of their capability to resolve a potentially large
number of analytical problems and challenges in very diverse areas such as defense …
