Conclusion
Applications of aptamers as biosensors, or the association of aptamers with nanomaterials, may be employed in analyses by colorimetric, fluorescence, or electrical devices. Additionally, more efficient ways of sample preparation are presented, which can support food safety to provide human health, with a low-cost method for contaminant detection. Key points • Aptamers are promising for detecting contaminants outbreaks. • Studies are needed to identify aptamers for different targets.
