What are the Key Components in Nanotechnology-Based Multiplexed Diagnostics?
Several components are essential in these systems:
Nanoparticles: Used as labels or carriers for target molecules. Quantum dots: Semiconductor nanoparticles that can emit light at different wavelengths, allowing for multiplexed optical detection. Nanowires and nanotubes: Used as sensitive detection elements in electronic biosensors. Microfluidic chips: Platforms that integrate multiple diagnostic tests in a single, small device.
