New biosensors streamline the detection of diseases in your bloodstream
By incorporating nanostructures into small glass slides, researchers have managed to create a biosensor that could detect diseases at a patient’s bedside. The crux of the technology is highly selective detection molecules, which screen samples, such as blood, for a disease of interest. Currently, this type of diagnostic testing is conducted by large, expensive instruments.
