Biosensors for with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) Technique.

Nosocomial infection is one of the most important problems that occurs in hospitals, as it directly affects susceptible patients or patients with immune deficiency. ( is the most common cause of nosocomial infections in hospitals. can cause various diseases such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, septicemias, and soft tissue infections, and it has also become highly resistant to antibiotics.

Virus MIP-composites for SARS-CoV-2 detection in the aquatic environment.

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for causing the global COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying the presence of this virus in the environment could potentially improve the effectiveness of disease control measures. Environmental SARS-CoV-2 monitoring may become increasingly demanded in areas where the available testing methods are ineffective.

Electrochemical Biosensor Based on Surface Imprinting for Zika Virus Detection in Serum.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus that was first identified in 1947. Initially, the virus was of little concern for health authorities given there were very few casualties among those suffering an infection. As such, only limited studies were performed on ZIKV.

Small-Molecule Dengue Virus Co-imprinting and Its Application as an Electrochemical Sensor.

Polymers can be synthesized to recognize small molecules. This is achieved by introducing the target molecule during monomer self-assembly, where they can be incorporated during cross-linking polymerization. Following additional pre-processing, the material obtained can then be applied as a sensing layer for these molecules in many applications.

An influenza A virus agglutination test using antibody-like polymers.

Antibodies are commonly used in diagnostic routines to identify pathogens. The testing protocols are relatively simple, requiring a certain amount of a specific antibody to detect its corresponding pathogen. Antibody functionality can be mimicked by synthesizing molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), i.

H5N1 Virus Plastic Antibody Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers.

Normally, antibodies against influenza A have been prepared from viable virus or an engineered strain in certain hosts or cultured media. Two factors concerning antibody production are obvious. The obtaining antibody that is a kind of biomolecule has to be handled carefully, e.
