Fundamental Principles for Luminescence Sensing Measuring Devices Used for the Detection of Biological Warfare Agents 2017-07-06 .txt text/plain 9140 492 44 Therefore, in the following sections, we will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art prime molecular sensing technologies for the detection of BAs. It should be noticed that the current methods for detecting pathogenic bacteria, which include ELISA and PCR [20, 21] are assays that exploit antibodies as molecular recognition elements due to their highly specific targeting of antigenic sites. The first step toward the development of an AMP-based, label-free electronic biosensor consisted of targeting the microbial cells by magainin I using impedance spectroscopy. In this sensor, the antibodies or other capture molecules are immobilized in a two-dimensional array on an optical waveguide (as either stripes or spots) and standard fluoroimmunoassays are performed within the channels of a multi-channel flow cell, which is placed on the waveguide surface ( Fig. 4.6 , left). Most of the sensing measuring devices used for the detection of biological warfare agents are based on luminescence immunoassay signal transduction mechanisms which are optical. ./cache/cord-017882-3fxjti92.txt ./txt/cord-017882-3fxjti92.txt
