How is Nanotechnology Used in Point-of-Care Testing?
Nanotechnology enables the development of portable, easy-to-use diagnostic devices for point-of-care testing. These devices can perform rapid tests for a variety of conditions, including infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, and even genetic mutations. For example, a handheld device incorporating nanotechnology can quickly detect the presence of the Zika virus in a drop of blood or saliva.
