Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a new method to detect the proteins that make up the coronavirus, as well as antibodies against it. They have developed protein-based ...

Imec and Genalyte have developed and produced a set of disposable silicon photonics biosensor chips to be used in Genalyte diagnostic and molecular detection equipment. The chips combine imec’s ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

Since its origins in the 1960s, the biosensors field has grown to encompass a wide range of sensors, from enzyme-based to immunosensors to thermal biosensors. Along with this, a diverse set of ...

What could be more valuable than a face mask that protects you from the SARS-CoV-2 virus? How about a face mask that offers protection and actually detects whether COVID-19 is present in your breath?

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ensuring the safety of drinking water, food supplies, and environmental samples depends on detecting bacterial contamination before it causes harm. Traditional microbiological ...

The developed biosensor system employs insect receptors for geosmin detection, enabling quick, accurate water quality ...
