What Are the Types of Nanotechnology-Based Diagnostic Tests?
Several types of nanotechnology-based diagnostic tests are currently in use or under development:
Lateral Flow Assays: These are similar to pregnancy tests but use nanoparticles to detect various diseases. Lab-on-a-Chip: These devices integrate multiple laboratory functions on a single chip, allowing for complex diagnostics in a compact format. Quantum Dot Imaging: Quantum dots are used for highly sensitive imaging, aiding in the visualization of disease markers. Nanosensors: These sensors can detect specific molecules and provide real-time data.
