Point-of-Care Technology for Portable Testing Devices: Nanomaterials-Based Optical Biosensors for Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers presents the latest advances in nanomaterials-based optical biosensor-enabled point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices for the rapid and accurate detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers. This book begins with the introduction of novel cardiovascular biomarkers and advances in point-of-care diagnostics. Subsequent chapters focus on the selection of bioreceptors and the overview of optical nanomaterials for nanobiosensors applications.A major focus is targeted on colorimetric detection, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance, and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering-based optical nanobiosensor signaling readout techniques, which enable the detection of CVD biomarkers. Furthermore, this book explores emerging healthcare technologies for next-generation portable PoCT devices and recent advances in nanobiosensor techniques for the rapid detection of CVD biomarkers. One dedicated chapter explores the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing point-of-care diagnostics for CVDs, while another addresses critical regulatory challenges and safety considerations in translating nanomaterial-based biosensors into clinical practice.

Biosensors for Sustainable Food - New Opportunities and Technical Challenges addresses the challenges associated with sustaining the globally increasing demand for food that has been forecast for the next centuries and the immediate need for the food production system to adopt sustainable practices to protect the environment and human health. It provides a comprehensive overview of established, cutting-edge, and future trends in biosensor technology and its application in the agrifood sector. In particular, different biosensing advances are covered, outlining the newest research efforts in the cross-disciplines of chemistry, biology, and materials science with biosensing research, in order to develop novel detection principles, sensing mechanisms, and device engineering methods. Food production and consumption have a strong impact on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, water, and soil contamination, the reduction of arable land, water consumption, and many other factors, which in turn, negatively affect human health. These issues have consequences for economic development, too. To address these challenges, it is necessary for scientists with different expertise, policymakers, and economists work together to develop new smart technologies and introduce them to the market, along with adequate regulations. In this regard, a sustainable food production system can be thought of as a chain of procedures with a low impact on the environment that guarantees a secured supply of healthier and fortified food while supporting economic growth.

Medical Biosensors for Point of Care (POC) Applications discusses advances in this important and emerging field which has the potential to transform patient diagnosis and care. Part 1 covers the fundamentals of medical biosensors for point-of-care applications. Chapters in part 2 go on to look at materials and fabrication of medical biosensors while the next part looks at different technologies and operational techniques. The final set of chapters provide an overview of the current applications of this technology. Traditionally medical diagnostics have been dependent on sophisticated technologies which only trained professionals were able to operate. Recent research has focused on creating point-of-care diagnostic tools. These biosensors are miniaturised, portable, and are designed to be used at the point-of-care by untrained individuals, providing real-time and remote health monitoring.

Biosensors 94: The Third World Congress on Biosensors Abstracts focuses on the progress in the field of biosensors, including immuno-absorbent 'catch' system, surface plasmon resonance, and chemiluminescence. The selection first offers information on the development of a commercial multichannel clinical sensor chip; commercial development and application of biosensors; amperometric biosensors based on dehydrogenase/NAD and heterocyclic quinones; and enzyme-epoxy membrane based semi-automated glucose analyzing system. The text then takes a look at the orientation of antibody fragments to increase TIRF immunosensor efficiency and the development of latex-technology for specific DNA detection with surface plasmon resonance. The book elaborates on gas-phase biosensor for the determination of ethanol vapor; novel electrochemical gas phase biosensors for the detection of phenolic vapors; and the development of an immuno-absorbent 'catch' system for the detection of pesticides and pesticide analogues. The book also ponders on the kinetics of binding of immobilized antibodies under nonequilibrium, flow conditions; flow injection thin-layer cell immunosensor with chemiluminescent detection of peroxidase label; and new optical fiber sensor for detecting chemiluminescence and its application to immunoassay. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in biosensors.
