What are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in Biomagnetic Sensing?
Integrating nanotechnology with biomagnetic sensing offers several advantages:
Enhanced sensitivity: Nanomaterials have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, which increases the likelihood of binding to target molecules. Improved specificity: Functionalization of nanoparticles with specific ligands or antibodies allows for selective binding to target biomolecules. Miniaturization: Nanoscale sensors and devices can be integrated into portable and wearable diagnostic tools. Multifunctionality: Nanoparticles can be engineered to possess multiple properties, such as magnetic, optical, or catalytic, enabling multimodal sensing and imaging.
