How Do Nanoparticles Enhance In Vitro Diagnostics?
Nanoparticles have unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties that make them ideal for enhancing in vitro diagnostics. For instance, quantum dots can be used as fluorescent markers to detect specific proteins or DNA sequences with high sensitivity. Similarly, gold nanoparticles can be used in colorimetric assays to detect biomarkers, enabling early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.
