Small, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 2014, pp. 1086-10891613-6810https://doi.org/10.1002/smll.201301996https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/15065A new ELISA‐ (enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay)‐like assay is demonstrated in which no elements of biological origin are used for molecular recognition or signaling. Composite imprinted nanoparticles that contain a catalytic core and which are synthesized by using a solid‐phase approach can simultaneously act as recognition/signaling elements, and be used with minimal modifications to standard assay protocols. This assay provides a new route towards replacement of unstable biomolecules in immunoassays.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Article
