Sialic Acid Sensing via Molecularly Imprinted Polymer on Laser‐Induced Graphene
Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.Sialic acid is an important biomarker for oral and overall health. Salivary levels of sialic acid are linked with oral cancer and other diseases. We develop a point‐of‐care sensor for sialic acid, based on molecularly imprinted aminophenylboronic acid electropolymerized onto laser‐induced graphene.
