Description

Breakthrough in diagnostics with new generation Biosensors

How micromagnets lead to innovation in biomolecular diagnostics
Following the extensive introduction to the biosensor in its history and development in the previous meeting on 3 September last, now the sequel.
In biomolecular diagnostics, there is a steady trend towards fast and compact equipment. In these so-called biosensors, speed, sensitivity, price, reliability and ease of use are of prominent importance. Tests currently on the market make significant trade-offs between the above criteria.

This lecture will discuss a new platform that uses magnetic particles in combination with biological assays. The platform represents a breakthrough in biomolecular diagnostics and has a wide range of applications. On the basis of the detection of narcotics in saliva, in particular, the functioning of the new generation of biosensors and the results that can be achieved with them will be explored. The lecture will cover the latest technologies, biological methods and follow the innovation steps that led to the development of this new type of biosensor.
