What are the Common Types of Nanosensors Used in Biomedical Sensing?
Several types of nanosensors are used in biomedical applications, including:
Nanowire Sensors: These are used for detecting specific proteins or DNA sequences. Quantum Dots: Fluorescent nanoparticles that can label and track biological molecules. Carbon Nanotubes: Used for detecting gases and biomolecules due to their excellent electrical properties. Gold Nanoparticles: Often used in colorimetric assays to detect the presence of biomarkers.
