摘要 |
<p>Methods are described for assembly of DNA aptamer-magnetic bead (“MB”) conjugate plus aptamer-quantum dot (“QD”) aptamer-fluorescent nanoparticle or other aptamer-fluorophore, aptamer-chemiluminescent reporter, aptamer-radioisotope or other aptamer-reporter conjugate sandwich assays that enable adherence to glass, polystyrene and other plastics. Adherence to glass or plastics enables detection of surface-concentrated partitioning of fluorescence versus background (bulk solution) fluorescence in one step (without a wash step) even when the external magnetic field for concentrating the assay is removed. This assay format enables rapid, one-step (homogeneous) assays for a variety of analytes without wash steps that do not sacrifice sensitivity.</p> |
