A universal platform for protein on-site detection

Interest in developing portable detection devices for on-site analysis has risen sharply in recent years. Many areas, including medical diagnostics, environmental toxicology and bioterrorism controls, would benefit from devices that can perform a rapid first-level detection without the need for equipped laboratories or skilled personnel. ZJU-China iGEM team this year successfully built a universal protein detection platform based on the idea of aptamer-induced inner-membrane scaffold dimerization.
