Simpler, more cost-effective biosensing
GÖTEBORG, Sweden – There are two challenges facing optical label-free biosensing, especially for clinical applications, according to Alexandre Dmitriev of Chalmers University of Technology.< “The system should be able to work in physiological fluids – blood, urine, saliva – which are loaded with all sorts of proteins, creating strong, unwanted background for the biosensor signal,” he said. “And the instrumentation should be simple and compact enough to be placed at a point-...
