Novel Platform Development Using an Assembly of Carbon Nanotube, Nanogold and Immobilized RNA Capture Element towards Rapid, Selective Sensing of Bacteria

This study examines the creation of a nano-featured biosensor platform designed for the rapid and selective detection of the bacterium <em>Escherichia coli</em>. The foundation of this sensor is carbon nanotubes decorated with gold nanoparticles that are modified with a s...
