Abstract
The BioFace project aims to develop new tailored sensing surfaces to be
used in printable biosensors. Engineered, extremely stable avidins are the
ideal biomolecules to obtain sensing material that is thermally and chemically
resistant and apt for applications in the biosensing field. Through covalent
linkage or by acting as intermediates, functionalised polymers allow efficient
immobilisation of the tailored avidins, which are printed on the sensor chip
substrate. The developed materials can be used in bioanalytical devices in the
field of diagnostics, drug research and life science research.
