Facile and Cost-Effective Detection of Saxitoxin Exploiting Aptamer Structural Switching

A simple method to detect saxitoxin (STX), one of the main components of the paralytic shellfish poison from red tide, has been developed. By using a next generation dye for double-stranded DNA we were able to differentiate fluorescence from STX-binding aptamers when exposed to different concentrati...
