Optical Detection of Thrombin on Nanoporous Anodic Alumina with Aptamer-Modified Surface

Nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) attracts interest in nanotechnology[1]. Its physical and chemical properties combined with a cost-effective and scalable production make it a good for nanotechnology-related applications. Its high and tuneable surface-to-volume ratio as well as its interesting optical properties[2] have been used as the basis of different biosensing schemes. Biosensing, and specifically optical biosensing is of great interest in...
