Methods and Tools for Measuring Bio-Nano Properties

About

Medical research is now focusing increasingly on the micro and nanoscale. Concepts such as lab-on-a-chip (microarrays) are now being used the world over to facilitate ultra-sophisticated tests while taking a negligible amount of biological material from the patient. Nanostructures such as quantum dots and dendrimers have started finding extensive applications in curing cancer, and the silver nanoparticle is considered a prime candidate for fighting viruses such as AIDS. These applications are result of amazing properties of the nanostructures which are analyzed and determined by various tools and methods. In medical science properties, of materials play a significant and important role in the development of various medical procedures and systems. Medical science can be revolutionized only by enhancing properties at the nanoscale, therefore Bio-Nano properties come in to play. These properties can be addressed and analyzed by various structural resources, electron microscopy resources and spectroscopy resources. These resources are explained thoroughly in this book
