Multiplexing technology for in vitro diagnosis of pathogens: the key contribution of phosphorus dendrimers

After the microbiology based on Pasteur's method and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the diagnosis company named Dendris has proposed a third-generation of diagnosis enabling the search of a broad range of pathogens with strong sensitivity and specificity. This extraordinary profile was possible thanks to the use of phosphorus dendrimers for which various techniques of deposition on a given support were investigated and described and analyzed in this report.
