Enabling improved diagnostic assay sensitivity for Ebola virus and other pathogens
POSTER Sample preparation and stabilization are critically important to downstream diagnostic assay sensitivity, as they directly impact the abundance and detection of analytes. Moreover, the Warfighter requires solutions for diagnostic sample processing that are simple, fast, and robust when operating in austere environments. Nanotraps® are hydrogel nanoparticles functionalized with chemical affinity baits that can capture low abundance proteins, peptides, metabolites, nucle
