What Are the Challenges in Implementing Nanotechnology in Diagnostics?
Despite its potential, several challenges must be addressed:
- Regulatory Hurdles: Ensuring the safety and efficacy of nanotechnology-based diagnostics requires stringent regulatory approval processes. - Cost: The development and production of nanomaterials can be expensive, potentially limiting accessibility. - Standardization: There is a need for standardized protocols to ensure consistent and reliable results across different laboratories and applications. - Biocompatibility: Ensuring that nanomaterials do not induce adverse biological reactions is crucial for their safe use.
