NANO BIOSENSORS:

NANO BIOSENSORS ITS USES & APPLICATIONS Presentation by: M.ROSHNA II MSc.BIOTECH

BIOSENSORS:

BIOSENSORS A device incorporating a biological sensing element either intimately connected to or integrated within a transducer. Recognition based on affinity between complementary structures like: enzyme-substrate, antibody-antigen and receptor-hormone complex. Selectivity and specificity depend on biological recognition systems connected to a suitable transducer.

NANOTECHNOLOGY:

NANOTECHNOLOGY Nanos (Gr.)- dwarf or very small Includes many fields Its the Miniature Biology Nanotechnology- manipulating matter at nanoscale. Comparison of nano-range

Why NANO-BIOSENSOR?:

Why NANO-BIOSENSOR? Nanoparticles have novel property. Integration of material science, molecular engineering, chemistry and biotechnology. Improve the sensitivity and specificity of biomolecule detection Efficient biomolecular recognition, pathogenic diagnosis and environment monitoring.

NaNOPARTICLE:

NaNOPARTICLE PROPERTIES PARTICLES USED Gold nanoparticle Carbon Nanotubes Magnetic particles Quantum dots Unique physical chemical, mechanical, magnetic and optical properties, markedly enhance the sensitivity and specificity of detection .
