In situ detection of multitarget impurities on contact lens by electrochemical scanning probe

Fang Liu, Tzu-En Lin, Yingdi Zhu

Identifying multitarget impurities on contact lenses is challenging because traditional methods such as polymerase chain reaction cannot be used on the unknown target. Other sampling methods often require expensive antibodies or dyes. Therefore, this resea ...
