An ultra-sensitive colorimetric detection of tetracyclines using the shortest aptamer with highly enhanced affinity.

چکیده
A shortened 8-mer ssDNA aptamer was successfully truncated for four different tetracyclines with high affinity. The ultrasensitive colorimetric detection of oxytetracycline using this shortened aptamer was possible, which was about 500-fold enhanced compared to that obtained using the original 76-mer aptamer.

متن کاملHighly sensitive colorimetric detection of 17β-estradiol using split DNA aptamers immobilized on unmodified gold nanoparticles
Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) based colorimetric aptasensor have been developed for many analytes recently largely because of the ease of detection, high sensitivity, and potential for high-throughput analysis. Most of the target aptamers for detection have short sequences. However, the approach shows poor performance in terms of detection sensitivity for most of the long-sequence aptamers. To addre...
متن کاملHighly Sensitive Colorimetric Detection of Ochratoxin A by a Label-Free Aptamer and Gold Nanoparticles
A label-free aptamer-based assay for the highly sensitive and specific detection of Ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed using a cationic polymer and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The OTA aptamer was used as a recognition element for the colorimetric detection of OTA based on the aggregation of AuNPs by the cationic polymer. By spectroscopic quantitative analysis, the colorimetric assay could detect ...

This study describes the fabrication techniques for two forms of magnetic DNA nanotubes (MDNTs) and their applications as platforms for developing colorimetric assays. The first form of MDNTs was DNTs filled-up with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and the second one was DNTs arayed with MNPs on their extrior surfaces. Then the both forms of MDNTs were employed as platforms for attaching a specifi...
