However, conventional AST methods require more than 16 h to provide results; thus, we developed an electrical AST (e-AST) system, which provides results within 6 h. The proposed e-AST is based on an array of 60 aptamer-functionalized capacitance sensors that are comparable to currently available AST panel ...[more]
