Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a series of nano-sized temperature-responsive polymer-protein conjugates that separate and enrich analytes from solution and enable detection. Because smart conjugates bind analytes in solution prior to separation, conjugate-analytes binding avoids steric and mass transport limitations associated with surface-based techniques. Thus, the “smart” polymer-based diagnostic systems could enrich dilute salivary samples, overcoming the problem of low power supply in the developing world while retaining the advantages of a rapid and reversible capture and concentration abilities.
