It is based on various analytical approaches for the point-of-care or POC healthcare related diagnostics, evaluation of contaminants, additives and adulterants in foods and environment management. Each section under the topic is discussed in its exhaustive detail, incorporating significant literature reviews spanning over two decades. The book critically analyzes issues and challenges for its applications in real world settings, universal applicability in resource limited sets-ups of remote areas, ease of integration with other sensing platforms, portability/miniaturization, and more.
- Takes account of the fact that nanomaterials are increasingly favored as labels for electrochemical immunoassay protocols for the development of highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensing device
- Refines biosensors for real-world settings, academicians, healthcare professionals and industrialist who need to team up for the successful realization of POCT/LOCT devices
- Contains focused and targeted research coupled with other technological advances to help in the development of cutting-edge nanomaterial based electrochemical immunoassays with features of test-strip technology and lateral flow
Research institutions, institutes of higher learning involved in electrochemical nano-biosensors. Biotechnology, physics and chemistry for engineering and medical graduates, postgraduates and research scholars
