Aptamer TA6 with optimal signal performanceExcellentI choose TA6 aptamer products with luminescent signals, which can be clearly detected without signal amplification even when used in diluted serum samples. This makes my testing steps less complicated.
Powerful reagent for abrin toxin detectionExcellentIn my rapid assay for abrin toxin, the abrin toxin aptamer binds target molecules with better affinity and specificity than antibody reagent, allowing direct detection of abrin toxin down to 1 nM. This is indeed a powerful detection reagent.
As an alternative to my direct measurement of abrin toxinExcellentI have multiple proteins in my samples, but the use of TA6 aptamer to determine abrin toxin did not interfere significantly. Therefore, I can use it as an alternative method to direct measurement when testing complex biological samples.
