Detection of insulin using a novel capturing system

Insulin is a hormone released from the pancreas, which controls the level of glucose in blood. Diabetes is a disease characterized by a lack of insulin production or impaired insulin action. Here, we propose the development of a novel system based exclusively on the measurement of insulin using capturing molecules with high affinity to insulin. This method will provide an affordable and simplified method to be used not only in point of care but also by the patient at home.
