Impedimetric and Field-Effect DNA and Peptide Aptamer Sensors for Medical and Environmental ApplicationsTuesday, 10 October 2017 at 17:45 Add to Calendar ▼2017-10-10 17:45:002017-10-10 18:45:00Europe/LondonImpedimetric and Field-Effect DNA and Peptide Aptamer Sensors for Medical and Environmental ApplicationsBiodetection and Biosensors 2017 in Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, UKMurray Edwards College, Cambridge, UKSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com There is a great need for low-cost intelligent biochips capable of massive parallel detection to be used in portable instrumentation. Electrochemical methods are inherently low-cost, miniaturisable and easily integrated into multiplexed systems for the parallel screening of a panel of biomarkers. Of particular interest are biologically sensitive field-effect transistors (BioFETs) and impedance-based sensors. We here exemplify the use of synthetic molecules such as DNA aptamers and peptide aptamers (Affimers), as alternatives to antibodies, in impedance and BioFET sensors for the detection of a range of biomarkers in medical diagnosis and for environmental monitoring. |
