Reviews
“Achieves AN IMPRESSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE FIELD of nanotechnology based biosensors. It explores the design and development of various styles of sensors, and their in-vitro and in-vivo appli-cations. This book is suitable for multi-disciplinary researchers and students to get a complete back-ground and broad knowledge of nanotechnology based biosensors. . . . [Provides] a comprehensive and appropriate description of nanobiosensors and their use in developing point-of-care systems, ranging from nanosurface preparation and biofunctionalisation to nanobiosensor fabrication, covering the transition from in-vitro to in-vivo applications. Each chapter is a good combination of theory and application, including typically informative figures and examples to aid understanding.”
Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Review by Lingyin Meng, Biosensors and Bioelectronics Centre, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, Linköping University, Sweden

“The editors (Ajeet Kaushik and Chandra Dixit) have a made good effort toward the collection of articles on different topics relating to applications of nanotechnology to biosensing . . . . The emphasis is on taking nanobiotechnology from laboratory to field. On the whole the book is a good reading and will inspire those who are currently working on technological applications of nanobiosensors.”
—Bansi D. Malhotra, Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Delhi Technological University, India

“This book, edited by Dr. Kaushik and Dr. Dixit, highlights the journey of biosensors from fundamentals to applied research. The advancements in nano-enabled sensing components aiming to integrate miniaturized sensing systems for health purposes are very nicely explained here. Further, in an effort to promote personalized health care, the book looks at the need for developing point-of-care sensing (POC) systems, which is well described. This book would be perfect platform for readers of every level to understand biosensors, to design of future research, and to explore strategies for POC sensing for personalized health monitoring needed for better life styles.”

This valuable book explores the potential of nanosystems as a multidisciplinary science with the aim of the design and development of smart sensing technologies using micro/nano electrodes and novel nanosensing material. It discusses their integration with MEMS, miniaturized transduction systems, novel sensing strategies, and wearable sensors performing at POC for diagnostics and personalized health care monitoring.

In this book, basic concepts are presented pertaining to nanobiosensor fabrication, developments in the field of smart nanomaterials, nano-enabling technologies, micro-nano hybrid platforms, and their applications in healthcare. The book is broadly divided into three categories that
  • describe the basic concepts of nanobiotechnology, nanosurfaces, their biofunctionalization, and involved electronics.
  • explore the designing and development of in vitro sensors
  • present in vivo applications of the nanobiosensors
Features:
  • Explores prospects of nanobiotechnology in nano-enabling sensor development for health care.
  • Describes preparation of advanced smart nano-sensing-platforms and needed functionalization to fabricate an efficient biosensor.
  • Explains the significance of miniaturization and integration of sensing component to reduce factor to develop wearable sensor for point-of-care (POC).
  • Demonstrates the application of biosensors for disease diagnostics
  • Motivates new ideas for developing novel sensing materials, circuitry electronics, miniaturized transduction methods, and device integration to develop next generation future diagnostic systems.
  • Discusses the future prospects and challenges in developing nano-enabling sensing technology.
The section related to wearable sensors and point-of-care sensing system may be of particular interest to researchers.
