Antibiotic Detection
In article number 2207216, Michal Otyepka and co‐workers report on a simple and fast methodology to construct an aptasensor. An aptamer sensitive for ampicillin is conjugated to graphene derivative by a click chemistry. The versatility of this platform unlocks extensive opportunities for developing a novel category of point‐of‐care electrochemical biosensors.
Tackling the current problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) requires fast, inexpensive, and effective methods for controlling and detecting antibiotics in diverse samples at the point of interest. Cost‐effective, disposable, point‐of‐care electrochemical biosensors are a particularly attractive option. However, there is a need for conductive and versatile carbon‐based materials and inks that enable...
