What are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in Biomolecule Isolation?
Using nanotechnology for biomolecule isolation offers several advantages:
Higher Sensitivity: Nanomaterials provide a larger surface area for interaction, which increases the sensitivity for detecting low-abundance biomolecules. Specificity: Functionalization techniques allow for the selective capture of target biomolecules, reducing contamination from non-target species. Speed: Nanotechnology can significantly reduce the time required for isolation processes compared to traditional methods. Scalability: Nanotechnological methods can be easily scaled up for industrial applications or scaled down for point-of-care diagnostics.
