How Does Nanotechnology Improve Non-Invasive Diagnostics?
Nanotechnology has enabled the development of highly sensitive biosensors that can detect minute quantities of biomarkers. These biosensors often use nanoparticles as signal transducers, which amplify the detection signals, making it possible to identify diseases at an early stage. Nanofluidics is another area where nanotechnology plays a crucial role, allowing for the manipulation of tiny volumes of fluids to detect disease markers in bodily fluids such as blood, urine, or saliva.
