First Model To Compare Performance Of ‘Biosensors’

Researchers have developed a new modeling technique to study and design miniature “biosensors,” a tool that could help industry perfect lab-on-a-chip technology for uses ranging from medical diagnostics to environmental monitoring.The experimental devices represent a new class of portable sensors designed to capture and detect specific “target molecules,” which will allow the sensors to identify pathogens, DNA or other substances.
