High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I Detection via MP‐Locked Aptamer and Multimeric DNAzyme‐Coupled Hyperbranched Hybridization Chain Reaction

Small, EarlyView.
We report a magnetic particle anchored locked aptamer platform integrated with hyperbranched HCR and DNAzyme amplification for enzyme‐free, ultrasensitive detection of cardiac troponin I. The assay achieves a 0.25 ng/L detection limit within 25 minutes and enables cross‐species MI detection, with machine learning classification reaching 90% accuracy ...
