This month:

  • Novel ELISA like assay for small molecules

With lots of exciting new data ongoing for multiple applications in the commercial and academic space, Aptamer Group would like to share with you information that may be of interest for your research and business goals.

As always, we would love to hear from you to discuss how aptamers can be utilised as the preferred affinity/binding molecules in your research, diagnostics, drug discovery and drug development programs.

Our Novel Solutions – ELISA Like Assays for Small Molecules

Moxifloxacin measured by both fluorescence and qPCR

  • Non competitive assay, measures gain of signal (GoS) for lower background and matrix effects
  • Evaluated in plasma and milk
  • Confirmed by quantitative PCR normalised to an internal standard

Moxifloxacin Aptamer

Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat different types of bacterial infections of the skin, sinuses, lungs, or stomach. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may have serious side effects so should be used sparingly and monitored closely. We have developed and patented the sequence for our Moxifloxacin antibiotic aptamer featured in this Newsletter.

If you wish to discuss licensing this Intellectual Property for use in your diagnostic applications, please  get in touch with our diagnostic experts.
