Researchers have used off-the-shelf components to create a sensor device that is not only cost-effective but can quickly detect 32 different pathogens and has sensitivities on par with the ...

Biosensors—sensors that can detect biological samples—are powerful tools for understanding the function, composition, and structure of biochemical molecules. Biosensors are often applied for the ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

A biosensor is a device that has the potential to detect a particular substance or analyte with high specificity. Examples of such analytes include glucose, lactate, glutamate and glutamine. Most ...

Imec and Genalyte have developed and produced a set of disposable silicon photonics biosensor chips to be used in Genalyte diagnostic and molecular detection equipment. The chips combine imec’s ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ensuring the safety of drinking water, food supplies, and environmental samples depends on detecting bacterial contamination before it causes harm. Traditional microbiological ...

Dr. Ho Sang Jung and his research team from the Advanced Bio and Healthcare Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) have developed an optical biosensor capable ...
