A simple capillary flow porometer (CFP) was assembled for through-pore structure characterization of monolithic capillary liquid chromatography columns in their original chromatographic forms. Determination of differential pressures and flow rates through dry and wet short capillary segments provided necessary information

Structure-switching, fluorescence-signaling DNA and RNA aptamers have been reported as highly versatile molecular recognition elements for biosensor development. While structure-switching DNA aptamers have been utilized for solid-phase sensing, equivalent RNA aptamers have yet to be successfully utilized in solid-phase sensors
