A highly sensitive microgravimetric lectin biosensor has been developed using carbohydrate-stabilized Au nanoparticles as a signal amplifier; mannose-stabilized Au nanoparticles formed a sandwich-type complex with the target Con A specifically bound to a mannose-modified Au QCM electrode to give an amplified frequency response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
