Diagnostic Nanotechnologies
Dhanya K. Chandrasekharan, Dani Mathew M., Elizabeth P. Thomas
The application of nanotechnology in clinical diagnostic purposes can be defined as nanodiagnostics. Since most of the biological molecules as well as cell organelles fall within the nano scale, nanotechnology can assure to meet the rigorous demands being put forth by the clinical laboratory in terms of sensitivity, earlier and faster detection of diseases and cost-effectiveness. Nanotechnology Based Diagnostics or Nanodiagnostics is also termed as “molecular imaging” and it is an evolutionary leap in diagnostic imaging. Nanodiagnostics assays are utilized in immunoassays, DNA diagnostics, imaging, etc for the detection of tumors and infectious diseases.
