title: Gold-plated magnetic polymers for highly specific enrichment and label-free detection of blood biomarkers under physiological conditions.
abstract: A mass-based label-free detection of blood biomarkers under physiological conditions is realised using gold-plated magnetic polymer microspheres covered with self-assembled monolayers of polyethylene glycol alkanethiolates that effectively prevent heavy nonspecific binding of serum proteins.
