What are Nanomaterials and How Are They Used in Health Tests?
Nanomaterials are materials with structural components smaller than 100 nanometers. Their unique properties make them ideal for various biomedical applications. In health tests, nanomaterials can be used for:
- Biosensors: Nanomaterials enhance the sensitivity and specificity of biosensors, making them capable of detecting minute amounts of biological markers. - Imaging: Nanoparticles improve imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans by providing better contrast. - Drug Delivery: Nanocarriers can deliver drugs to specific cells, minimizing side effects and improving efficacy.
