Nano-Technological Approaches to Improve the Efficiency of Bio-Assays
Journal Title: Global Journal of Biotechnology and Biomaterial Science - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the biggest issues in today's healthcare industry is to find a very fast yet effective diagnostic platform, which is suitable for our busy lifestyle without compromising the detection efficiency. The major requirements of an efficient diagnostic platform can be summarized as minimum sample requirement, least reagent requirement, having options of multiple tests in a single platform, high through put analysis and last but never the least a non-expensive sample run. The largest contributor of the bio-assay industry is protein based chromogenic bio-assays, which depends on strong antigen-antibody interaction and high emissive properties of reporter dye molecule attached to the antigen.
