Two main ways to make glucose sensors better with nanotech. First way: Use regular sensor parts but add tiny nanostructured stuff. Advantages: Bigger surface area means faster response and better activity. If used for continuous monitoring, may face similar issues to current sensors like fouling and shorter lifespan due to immune response.
A test probe is a physical device used to connect electronic test equipment to a device under test (DUT). Test probes range from very simple, robust devices to complex probes that are sophisticated, expensive, and fragile. Specific types include test prods, oscilloscope probes and current probes.
Bead probe technology is a probing method used to connect electronic test equipment to the device under test (DUT) within a bed of nails fixture. The technique was first used in the 1990s [ 3 ] and originally given the name “Waygood Bump” after one of the main proponents, Rex Waygood.
TaqMan probes are hydrolysis probes that are designed to increase the specificity of quantitative PCR.The method was first reported in 1991 by researcher Kary Mullis at Cetus Corporation, [1] and the technology was subsequently developed by Hoffmann-La Roche for diagnostic assays and by Applied Biosystems (now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific) for research applications.
Nanoprobing is method of extracting device electrical parameters through the use of nanoscale tungsten wires, used primarily in the semiconductor industry. The characterization of individual devices is instrumental to engineers and integrated circuit designers during initial product development and debug.
Hall sensors can detect stray magnetic fields easily, including that of Earth, so they work well as electronic compasses: but this also means that such stray fields can hinder accurate measurements of small magnetic fields. To solve this problem, Hall sensors are often integrated with magnetic shielding of some kind.
Molecular beacons, or molecular beacon probes, are oligonucleotide hybridization probes that can report the presence of specific nucleic acids in homogenous solutions. Molecular beacons are hairpin -shaped molecules with an internally quenched fluorophore whose fluorescence is restored when they bind to a target nucleic acid sequence.
Silicon pressure sensors e.g., car tire pressure sensors, and disposable blood pressure sensors. Displays e.g., the digital micromirror device (DMD) chip in a projector based on DLP technology, which has a surface with several hundred thousand micromirrors or single micro-scanning-mirrors also called microscanners. The MEMS mirrors can also be ...
