Novel chemosensor-based method for rapid detection of bacterial toxin
Endotoxins are dangerous substances produced by many types of bacteria, but current methods to detect them are time consuming and expensive. Now, researchers have developed a convenient platform that can quickly detect endotoxins using a fluorescent chemosensor and a self-developed dual-wavelength fluorophotometer. The chemosensor forms distinct complex aggregates by binding to LPS molecules, which exhibit fluorescence at specific wavelengths that are simultaneously and accurately measured by the fluorophotometer….
