New Biosensor Detects Multiple Pathogens Simultaneously
Researchers unveil a portable device capable of identifying 32 different pathogens at once, offering a faster and more cost-effective solution for disease detection.
- Researchers develop a portable, palm-sized biosensor device capable of detecting 32 different pathogens simultaneously.
- The device uses field-effect transistors (FETs) and extended gates with 32 test pads for multi-pathogen detection.
- Innovative use of nanoparticles increases the sensitivity of the tests, allowing for more accurate disease detection.
- The biosensor is designed to be reusable, making it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
- Potential applications include monitoring cancer therapies and predicting the course of viral diseases like flu or COVID-19.
