Aptamers as recognition elements for label-free analytical devices

In spite of the impressive advances in aptasensing, the search for label-free devices for the detection of the aptamer-ligand interaction is still a challenge. This review highlights the advantages and the limitations of using label-free detection strategies and summarizes the state of the art in this field.
