Aptamer-based Biosensor screens Air Force personnel and equipment
Air Force personnel will soon know within minutes if they or their equipment are contaminated with a biological agent, thanks to a new technology developed by the Air Force and a national laboratory. "The system will provide an increased capa...A biosensor layered like lasagna
In a mixing of pasta metaphors, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists have used electrostatic attraction to layer reactive biological molecules lasagna-like around spaghetti-like carbon nanotubes. This configuration can accommodate a wide range of applications, from ultra-precise blood-sugar monitoring to infectious-agent detection, said Yuehe Lin, who led the research at the D...Rochester scientists develop fast-working biosensor
University of Rochester Medical Center scientists have demonstrated a new technology that accurately and rapidly detects the meat-spoiling and sometimes dangerous E. coli bacteria. The journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics published an...Smell of success for nanobiosensors
The new interdisciplinary technology approach, developed and tested by researchers in Spain, France and Italy with funding from the European Commission's FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) initiative of the IST programme, will ultimately lead to electronic noses based on natural olfactory receptors that could be used not only in healthcare but also in agriculture, industry, environmental prot...A new portable biosensor detects traces of contaminants in food more quickly and cheaply
Scientists at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), in cooperation with the CSIC, have developed a new electro-chemical biosensor which detects the presence, in food, of very small amounts of atrazine –one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and which also has very long lasting effects on the environment- as well as antibiotics in food. The biosensor is faster, more portable...dotLab System, Dual Pump from Axela Biosensors
Description:The dotLab System brings together two mature, well-understood technologies: grating-based light diffraction and immobilized capture surfaces. This combination produces a sensitive and very simple technique for the detection of molecular binding events without the use of fluorescent labels. Protein-specific capture molecules are immobilized on the dotLab Sensor surface in eight distinct l...dotLab System, Single Pump from Axela Biosensors

Infineon in co-operation with the Max Planck Institute, has succeeded in finding a new biosensor chip, called a Neuro-Chip, which researchers claim is a breakthrough technology that will help scientific researchers to gain new insights into the biologic function of neurons, nerve tissue and organic neural networks. Infineon's Neuro-Chip is based on a standard complementary// metal oxide semicondu...Small Biosensor To Enable Cancer Detection
A small hand-held biosensor is being developed by scientists to enable the easy detection of cancer. Early diagnosis and effective monitoring are two factors which are called for// where cancer is concerned. The University of Newcastle’s researchers led by Professor Calum McNeil are engaged in developing the device. This will identify cancer markers - proteins or other molecules produced by cance...Biosensor Chips to detect Urinary Tract Infections
Professor Joseph C. Liao from David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA has produced a new biosensor diagnostics which helps in early detection of Urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection is caused by gram // negative bacteria which colonizes the urinary tract and causes bacterial infection. Bacterial culture which is used for identification of bacteria takes about 2-3 days to find the resp...New Biosensor Developed To Detect E. Coli Bacteria
Scientists have developed a biosensor to detect the E. Coli bacteria, an infectious agent that causes food borne illness. The biosensor is said to detect the bacteria rapidly and accurately.// The unique technology developed by the University of Rochester Medical Centre uses a protein from the suspect bacteria as part of the sensing system that includes a silicon chip and a digital came...New Electro-chemical Biosensor to Check Food Contamination
Scientists have developed a new electro-chemical biosensor, which detects the presence of very small amounts of atrazine, one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and which also has very long lasting effects on the environment as well as antibiotics in food. The biosensor is faster, more portable and economic than the expensive laboratory methods, which are used to det...
