AptaBasics: Aptamer Affinity

Aptamer Affinity Aptamers are affinity reagents, so the mechanism of binding to a target is a key characteristic. Today we discuss how aptamers bind and outline what we…

Aptamer Applications: Biosensors part 2

Here we outline two strategies for utilising aptamers in biosensors. Target Induced Displacement Mode Target Induced Displacement (TID) mode uses an aptamer anchored via a complementary oligo,…

Aptamer Applications: Biosensors part 1

4th July 2017 Aptamers are increasingly being used in Biosensors. Biosensors are devices that use biological molecules, especially enzymes or antibodies, or living organisms to detect the presence…

Aptamer Applications: ELONA

27th June, 2017 An application that we have proven to be successful for aptamers is Enzyme-Linked Oligonucleotide Assays (ELONA). These are similar to ELISA but utilise the benefits…
