Ratiometric Fluorescent Detection of an Anthrax Biomarker at Molecular Printboards

Sense and sense ability: A novel surface-assisted fluorescent sensing system has been developed for the ratiometric detection of the anthrax biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA, black, see picture) on a molecular printboard. The system affords a nanomolar sensitivity and high selectivity towards DPA. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
