Electroanalytical Paper-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Biosensors with Integrated Thread Electrodes Open
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are very sensitive and specific methods, but they mainly rely on centralized laboratories and therefore are not suitable for point-of-care testing. Here, we present a 3D microfluidic paper-based ele…

Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for <em>Gambierdiscus </em>and <em>Fukuyoa </em>detection: a step further in the ciguatera risk management Open
Ciguatera fish poisoning is one of the most relevant seafood-borne illnesses worldwide. It is caused by the ingestion of fish contaminated by ciguatoxins (CTXs). Primary producers of CTXs are dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and…
