Abstract
A simple method for direct detection of microRNAs (miRs) in human
serum without the use of polymerase amplification is presented,
achieving low miR-122 concentrations and importantly, discerning
effectively single-base sequence mutations. The method is based
on the capture of target miRs with synthetic peptide nucleic acid
oligomers, dynamic chemical labelling, separation with quaternary
amine microplatforms and detection using time-gated fluorescence
imaging.
