Ever-increasing demand for new data inputs, miniaturization, and ample data-processing capacity drive the development of new chemical sensors and biosensors. |
Nanoscale biosensors capable of detecting specific DNA sequences and genetic mutations in the lab could lead to new cancer detection methods or aid drug development. |
The use of optical biosensors to monitor the nonspecific adsorption of a soluble protein or peptide to a synthetic surface has been reviewed. |
A large number of biotechnological devices include surface-bound proteins, e.g., biosensors. |
Such biosensors could detect a heart attack before a person experiences physical symptoms, researchers say. |
That means they might attract specific molecules, which would make them useful as biosensors to detect single molecules or cells. |
