FullGen nanobiosensor technology is an lectronic detection platform based on carbon nanotube networks. It consists of a tiny detector chip with one or more individually addressable detection elements, each capable of being independently functionalized to detect a specific target analyte. This device has a low power consumption, small size, and high sensitivity.
These devices offer significant performance advantages and enable unprecedented access to critical information.
Because biosensor utilizes random networks of carbon nanotubes instead of individually manipulated nanostructures, it benefits from manufacturing scalability. The detection devices work by monitoring the changes in the electronic characteristics of the device as it interacts with the analyte of choice. The carbon nanotube networks are functionalized with different recognition chemistries to induce the proper performance characteristics such as specificity, sensitivity, dynamic range, and more.

Researchers directly deposit gold nanoparticles in suspension
Thursday, August 09, 2007, 1:00:00 AM
Researchers from Northwestern University have demonstrated the ability of a third-generation nanofountain probe to directly deposit gold nanoparticles, 15 nanometers in diameter, onto silicon substrates. The direct-write method of deposition provides better control over resultant patterns and simplifies the process of fabricating functional structures, as compared to conventional photolithographic or microstamping techniques.
