Dr. Mona Amit Kaushal, Arihant School of Pharmacy & Bio-Research Institute, Gujarat Technological University Why a methanol vapour sensor at all? Researchers are currently exploring customized molecular recognition of analytes and employing cutting-edge methods to observe changes in recognition elements. They aim to develop exceptionally sensitive and precise biosensors. Biology offers numerous examples of precise […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University Many biochemical processes have been described for the detection of antigens. These processes have high specificity, have high reproducibility, and are trustworthy. Several new biochemical processes are being developed with even better sensitivity. However, the downside of biochemical processes is that they are slow and require specialized […]
Richismita Hazra, Amity University Kolkata The nationwide “Innovate2BeatCOVID” Grand Challenge has been won by three innovative ‘Ventilators and other respiratory Solutions’. This event was conducted by Marico innovation Foundation (MIF) and has awarded 85 lakhs in grants to the winners. These devices, made in India are affordable, disruptive and easily accessible. The use of best-in-class […]
Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata Scientists never stop researching something until they can find effective and affordable methods to fight the problems. Biosensors are devices that are used to detect the presence or concentration of an analyte. Scientists have been trying to use biosensor to detect viruses and bacteria. Biosensors can be of several types, […]
Surupa Chakraborty, Amity University Kolkata The past decade saw an explosion in the use of nanopore-based technology for DNA/RNA sequencing where Nanopores can be ideally used as single-molecule sensors. Oxford Nanopore Technologies has developed sequencing technologies – the ION series; a miniature nanopore DNA sequencer called the MinION that allows portable and convenient sequencing of high throughput […]
