Nanobiosensors for Environmental Monitoring

  • 226 Accesses

Abstract

The previous research has focussed on detecting pathogens in real-world environmental models. The combined use of nanoparticles with devices will facilitate multiplex detection systems, mining techniques, and nanomaterial-based research to simultaneously detect relevant pathogens in a given environment. However, some artefacts associated with these nanoparticles, non-specific binding, aggregation, and toxicity must be administered before they reach their full potential and biosensors. A key advantage is that the fast results, because the signal amplification method instead of the target has revolutionized the detection model. These methods, combined with green nanotechnology, promote safe access to drinking water and reduce global health, as well as accelerating potentially existing methods that provide sensitivity, specificity, speed, visibility, and self-cleaning to complement or replace certain criteria. Dealing with environmental issues at an early stage will bear fruit in the long run.
