Plasmonic biosensors with biocompatible nanosilver
The plasmonic properties of noble metal nanoparticles facilitate their use in novel in-vivo bio-applications such as targeted drug delivery and cancer cell therapy. Nanosilver is best suited for such applications as it has the lowest plasmonic losses among all such materials in the UVvisible spectrum. Its toxicity, however, can destroy the surrounding healthy tissue and thus, hinders its safe e...
متن کامل3D plasmonic nanoantennas integrated with MEA biosensors.
Neuronal signaling in brain circuits occurs at multiple scales ranging from molecules and cells to large neuronal assemblies. However, current sensing neurotechnologies are not designed for parallel access of signals at multiple scales. With the aim of combining nanoscale molecular sensing with electrical neural activity recordings within large neuronal assemblies, in this work three-dimensiona...
متن کاملGenetic divergence among toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria of the dry zone of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has rich cyanobacterial diversity, however, only few studies have been conducted to identify the potential toxin producers in water bodies used for human consumption. As the detection of cyanotoxin is vital in water quality management, a study was done by employing 16S rRNA gene to explore the genetic divergence, phylogenetic relationships and potential toxin producing cyanobacteria i...
متن کاملBiocompatibility of nanosilver-coated orthodontic brackets: an in vivo study
BACKGROUND Nanosilver particles of which antibacterial and antifungal properties have been shown in various in vitro and in vivo studies are used in many medical and dental fields for the prevention of infection. In this study, it is intended to evaluate the biocompatibility of nanosilver-coated brackets. METHODS Nanosilver coating process was applied to the standard orthodontic brackets by a...
متن کاملEngineered Metallic Structures and Nanofabrication Techniques for Plasmonic Biosensors
Optical energy can be harnessed on the nanoscale by exploiting plasmonic resonances in metallic nanostructures. These resonances are the result of the unique optical properties of metals and their abundance of conduction electrons. Utilizing these properties, it is possible to engineer metallic nano-devices that operate with large electric field intensities confined in and around the structure....
