What Are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology for Disease Monitoring?
Nanotechnology offers several advantages over traditional methods:
Sensitivity:Nanoscale materials can detect extremely low concentrations of biomarkers, allowing for early diagnosis. Specificity: Functionalization of nanomaterials ensures high specificity towards the target analyte, reducing false positives. Miniaturization: Nanosensors are small and can be integrated into portable devices for point-of-care testing. Real-time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring is possible, providing real-time data on disease progression and treatment efficacy.
