Biosensors and Nanotechnology: Applications in Health Care Diagnostics

The aim of this book is to provide a wide range of information from the basic through to the advanced applications in the biosensor area and impact of nanotechnology on the development of biosensors for healthcare.  This book has four main sections. Section 1 provides general information on biosensors, recognition receptors, biomarkers and
disease diagnostics. Section two addresses biosensor-based health care applications and includes SPR, QCM, electrochemical-based biosensor technologies, microelectromechanical systems and lab-on-a-chip platforms in
disease detection and diagnostics. Nanomaterial applications in biosensors and diagnostics follow this part as the third main section and covers the application of nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and molecularly
imprinted nanostructures. In the last section, organ-specific health care applications for disease cases using biosensors are discussed.
