Double-Imprinted Diffraction Grating Sensor Using a Virus Responsive Super-Aptamer Hydrogel Derived
Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2014), 53(8), 2095-2098 The detection of viruses is of interest for a number of fields including biomedicine, environmental science, and biosecurity. Of particular interest are methods that do not require expensive equipment or trained personnel, especially if the results can be read by the naked eye. A new “double imprinting” method was developed whereby a virus-bioimprinted hydrogel is further micromolded into a diffraction grating
