Faster aptamer screening finds synthetic alternatives to antibodies in days instead of months

Scientists at IOCB Prague have developed a new technology that accelerates the screening of aptamers, synthetic alternatives to antibodies. This method reduces the development time for these diagnostic tools from months to just a few days.
Why it matters
Faster development of aptamers could significantly improve the speed and efficiency of medical diagnostics and therapeutic research.
