Research abstract
Echo Technologies, Inc. (ETI) is developing optical biosensors for detection and discrimination of biological warfare agents. The sensors incorporate molecular recognition and fluorescent reporter molecules that are chosen to uniquely detect classes ofbiological material. Degradation of the fluorescent reporter molecules is one of the important parameters affecting sensor stability and lifetime. Dendrimers are highly branched polymers containing well-defined internal cavities that can thereforefunction as
