Detecting and Differentiating Normal, Cancerous and Metastatic Cells using Nanoparticle-Polymer Sensor Arrays

Using a "chemical nose" array of nanoparticles and polymers, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a fundamentally new, more effective way to differentiate not only between healthy and cancerous cells but also between metastatic and nonmetastatic cancer cells.

New Biosensor Detects Extremely Low Bacteria Concentrations Quickly, Easily, and Reliably

As reported in the journal Angewandte Chemie, their new method is based on electrochemical measurements by means of carbon nanotubes equipped with aptamers as bacteria-specific binding sites. If bacteria bind to the aptamers, the researchers detect a change in electrical voltage.
