Detection of mycobacterial DNA by a specific and simple lateral flow assay incorporating cadmium selenide quantum dots
Investigation article published in Molecular and cellular probes
December 1st, 2015
Cadmium selenide quantum dots have been incorporated to a lateral flow assay for the specific and very simple detection of different mycobacterial DNA targets within only a few minutes, bypassing the complexity of conventional DNA hybridization assays. The method extends our previous work on protein detection using an identical procedure
