摘要: We report the rapid diagnosis of malaria by aptamer-tethered enzyme capture (APTEC) whereby an aptamer captures biomarker Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH) then activity is measured colorimetrically. The robust test was sensitive (limit detection = 4.9 ng mL−1) and could reliably diagnose in clinical blood samples.
