Fitting pieces for biosensors(zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD) and in ...)

Date:4/7/2009

zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD) and in collaboration with the University of Rostock, proaqua GmbH & Co. KG in Mainz and the UFZ. The project is part of the BIONA (Bionic Innovations for Sustainable Products and Technologies) research programme. It will use the natural nanostructures of bacterial coat proteins to fix aptamers onto sensor surfaces in a controlled manner. The UFZ is to develop aptamers that are capable of detecting certain organic substances, such as undesirable pharmaceutical residues, that enter the environment through wastewater.

If the UFZ researchers are successful, in a few years' time, biosensors will be able to help with the prompt identification of potential health risks, such as mould fungi in rooms or germs and pharmaceutical residues in water.
