Aptamers and their Potential Applications at Base Pair Technologies

Aptamers represent a promising form of synthetic, inexpensive affinity reagent which can be employed in numerous applications. High costs for aptamer selection (as well as now-expiring intellectual property constraints) have until now hindered their more widespread use. This document gives background on aptamers, complimentary applications, and Base Pair Biotechnologies approach and success with aptamer development.
