Abstract

See full text

The solutions provided here use DNA aptamers and quantum dots for the detection of bacteria, viruses, proteins or other targets. An example of a method described here comprises: providing a complex of DNA complementary strands, one strand being an aptamer, having one strand covalently linked to a quantum dot, and having the other strand linked to a quencher; and contacting the complex of DNA complementary strands with a microorganism or components thereof, under conditions that permit binding of the aptamer with the microorganism or components thereof.
