Cytotoxin antibody-based colourimetric sensor for field-level differential detection of elapid among big four snake venom.

Development of a rapid, on-site detection tool for snakebite is highly sought after, owing to its clinically and forensically relevant medicolegal significance. Polyvalent antivenom therapy in the management of such envenomation cases is finite due to its poor venom neutralization capabilities as we...
