Electrochemical sensing strategies for on‐site testing of pathogenic nucleic acids
Electrochemical Science Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Rapid and reliable on‐site pathogen testing is crucial for diagnosing and managing human health. Nucleic acids (NAs) containing genetic information are valuable target molecules for pathogen testing, and sensitive and rapid detection of NAs using electrochemical approaches has been intensively investigated.
