What Types of Biological Sensors Utilize Nanotechnology?
There are several types of biological sensors that utilize nanotechnology:
Electrochemical Biosensors: These sensors measure the electrical signals generated by the interaction of biological molecules with nanomaterial-modified electrodes. Optical Biosensors: These sensors use nanomaterials to enhance the optical signals, such as fluorescence or absorbance, for detecting biological interactions. Piezoelectric Biosensors: These sensors detect changes in mass or mechanical properties of a nanomaterial-coated surface upon binding with a biological target.
