How do Nanoparticles Improve Diagnostic Techniques?
Nanoparticles have unique properties such as a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows them to interact with biological molecules in new ways. They can be engineered to bind to specific biomarkers, enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. These particles can be used in various forms such as quantum dots, gold nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles.
