2D transition metal dichalcogenides with glucan multivalency for antibody-free pathogen recognition
Abstract
The detection of pathogenic microorganisms is key consideration for safety across a wide range of fields. Here, the authors report on the simultaneous exfoliation and functionalisation of transition metal dichalcogenides with dextran for antibody-free detection of pathogenic Escherichia coli.
