What Are Some Examples of Nanotechnology-Based Diagnostic Tools?
Several innovative diagnostic tools have emerged from nanotechnology:
Quantum Dots: Used for imaging and tracking cellular processes due to their bright and stable fluorescence. Nanopore Sequencing: Enables rapid and precise DNA sequencing by detecting changes in electrical conductivity as DNA strands pass through a nanopore. Nanosensors: Capable of detecting minute concentrations of biomarkers, pathogens, or environmental toxins. Magnetic Nanoparticles: Employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for enhanced contrast and targeted imaging of tissues.
