For these reasons, marine mussels have been used as biosensors in environmental monitoring studies for over 30 years. |
Fiber optic biosensors have previously been employed for in situ quantitation of fluorescent chemicals or biochemical end products. |
A large number of biotechnological devices include surface-bound proteins, e.g., biosensors. |
They have been used especially for the study of cell adhesion or protein interactions as well as for the design of biosensors on electrical devices. |
Dr. Siegfried Janz leads the team at NRC that is adapting silicon chips for use as biosensors. |
The new biosensors and bioinformatics tools created by this project will help to better understand the complex nature of GPCR signaling. |
