Drugs of abuse tests require highly selective, robust assays. Aptamers are helping to deliver new assays for more sensitive and simpler tests. According to the UN Office on Drugs…

A universal aptamer-based sensing strategy is proposed using DNA modified nanocarriers and Resistive Pulse Sensing (RPS) for the rapid (≤20 min) and label free detection of small molecules. The surface…

In this work, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based assay for the quantification of antineoplastic drug irinotecan in human plasma samples has been developed for the first time. The selective…

A newly published paper in The Analyst by Dr. Federico Polo, Assistant Professor at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and former group leader at the National…

The challenge Small molecules such as antibiotics, drugs, toxins and food additives are often perceived as difficult targets to obtain a suitable affinity ligand. The development of rapid,…
