“…Due to the missing complementary strand, intramolecular interactions enable the formation of sequence-specific three-dimensional structures, which induce the high affinity of aptamers toward their target. − Thus, a large range of potential aptamer-based applications is enabled. − The aptamer-based trapping, as one of these applications, is usable as it is immunologically pendant, for, for example, cleanup or enrichment strategies. So far, only manual aptamer-based enrichment approaches have been published. , Thereby, automation of trapping enables a higher reproducibility by less hands-on time. Automated applications are up-to-date, more cost-effective, and independent of executing staff.…”
