Nanobioanalytical Approaches to Medical Diagnostics

Nanobioanalytical Approaches to Medical Diagnostics reviews a range of nanobiomaterials and bioanalytical nano-devices for medical diagnostics. Nanobiomaterials and nano-devices are used in various bioanalytical and biochemical systems to provide real-time, point-of-care diagnostics. The specialized properties of nanoparticles allow them to be engineered and adapted to produce the required effect within a bioanalytical or biochemical system – offering targeted and detailed diagnostic results in a range of biomedical applications. This book covers both traditional biochemical and modern, combined nano-approaches to medical diagnostics. Chapters detail a range of in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo models for nanobioanalytics, including DNA and peptide-based, erythrocyte, microfluidic and more. In addition, sections also look at various different medical diagnostic applications, such as in cancer detection, infectious disease diagnosis and blood glucose sensing. Covers core principles and nano-approaches in bioanalytics for medical diagnostics Details a range of in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo models for nanobioanalytics, including spectroscopic analysis, erythrocyte models, microfluidics, and more Appeals to an interdisciplinary readership, spanning the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering and biochemical engineering
