Responsive polymers for biochemical sensor applications

食品和临床诊断中的生物分析物分析的瓶颈包括缺乏可由非熟练最终用户在分析现场使用的快速、灵敏和便携式检测装置。感兴趣的生物分析物存在于其他化合物的迷宫中，并且存在于干扰的基质中，阻碍了良好的检测。仪器检测前所需的多步样品制备过程大大增加了化学分析的成本和时间，并需要复杂的实验室本地化仪器。

Bottlenecks in bioanalyte analyses in food and clinical diagnostics includes lack of rapid, sensitive, and portable detection devices that can be used at the site of analysis by a non-skilled end user. Bioanalytes of interest exist in a labyrinth of other compounds and in matrices that interfere, impeding good detection. The multi-step sample preparation processes necessary before instrumental detection add significantly in terms of cost and time in chemical analysis and require sophisticated lab-localized instrumentation.
