...Here come the aptamers

摘要

If you use antibodies for research or diagnostics you could be better served by switching to aptamers. Base Pair Biotechnologies, based in Pearland, Texas, USA, offers a total solution for developing aptamer-based technologies. Their continually expanding range of products and services is now available in Europe through Cambio. Aptamers are analogous to antibodies in their range of target recognition and variety of applications, but they have several key advantages over their protein counterparts.
