What are the Common Nanotechnological Methods Used?
Magnetic Nanoparticles: These are functionalized with specific ligands that bind to target biomolecules, allowing for easy separation using a magnetic field. Quantum Dots: These fluorescent nanoparticles can be used to tag and track biomolecules, facilitating their isolation and analysis. Nanoporous Membranes: These membranes have pores of nanometer size that can selectively filter and isolate biomolecules based on size and charge. Carbon Nanotubes: These can be functionalized to capture specific biomolecules, benefiting from their high surface area and unique electronic properties.
