  • Method for manufacturing an analysis substrate, and use thereof for detecting toxins
    Patent number: 10073089
    Abstract: The présent invention relates to a method for manufacturing an analysis device including torpédo membrane fragments immobilized at the surface thereof, to the resulting analysis device, and to the use of said device for detecting, purifying, and characterizing molécules acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The présent invention is useful in the field of monitoring seafood, monitoring neurotoxic phytoplankton for the shellfish industry, monitoring the quality of bathing waters along tourist beaches, the field of monitoring fresh water reserves, the field of médical research, the field of the biological analysis and characterization of molécules, e.g., non-radioactive assays of the movement of the ligand-receptor bond on an ELISA-type microplate, thereby enabling compétitive agonists and antagonists of targets to be detected, e.g., of highly sensitive receptors.
