How Can Nanotechnology Make Diagnostics More Affordable?
The affordability of nanotechnology-based diagnostics stems from several factors:
Mass Production: Nanomaterials can be produced in large quantities at a relatively low cost. Minimal Sample Requirements: The high sensitivity of nanotechnology-based diagnostics means that only small sample volumes are needed, reducing the cost of reagents and sample collection. Integration with Digital Technologies: Many nanotechnology-based diagnostic tools can be integrated with smartphones and other digital devices, reducing the need for expensive laboratory equipment.
