A novel fluorescent aptasensor for thrombin detection: using poly(m-phenylenediamine) rods as an effective sensing platform.

In this communication, we develop a novel fluorescent aptasensor for thrombin detection with the use of poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PMPD) rods as an effective sensing platform. This aptasensor exhibits extraordinarily high sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 100 pM and excellent selectivity.
