Woven Electroanalytical Biosensor for Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2021 AbstractFiber‐based biosensors enable a new approach in analytical diagnostic devices. The majority of textile‐based biosensors, however, rely on colorimetric detection. Here a woven biosensor that integrates microfluidics structures in combination with an electroanalytical readout based on a thiol‐self‐assembled monolayer (SAM) for Nucleic Acid ...
