Electrochemical aptasensors targetting antibiotics and PCBs University of Antwerp
Systemic Physiological and Ecotoxicological Research (SPHERE), AXES (Antwerp X-ray Analysis, Electrochemistry and Speciation)
The project aims to develop a new methodology to study biomolecule/small molecule interactions. The method is based on the construction of an amperometric sensor. This sensor/electrode surface is coated with a bio-recognition element such as an aptamer or an enzyme. If needed, a biocompatible matrix and/or a linking agent will be foreseen to protect the bio-elements towards the bare electrode surface. Small target molecules (such as antibiotics ...
