Thermochemiluminescence patterns act as fingerprints to accurately classify proteins

Albumin solutions were added directly onto each sensing element. When heated, the albumins are thermally oxidised, generating distinct thermochemiluminescence patterns.

We’ve just published the latest paper from Analyst‘s Associate Editor for Asia, Xinrong Zhang, and colleagues from Tsinghua Universtiy, China.  It details an innovative nanomaterial array which uses chacteristic thermochemiluminescence signals to recognise protein subtypes and denatured shapes.

Read the paper for free until 8th September.
