Short description
Colloidal Nanoparticles in Biotechnology discusses nanoparticles in biomedical diagnostics, using classical tools such as optical microscopy, atomic force micrscopy, turbidity, hydrodynamic size, electrokinetic properties, biosensors based on electrical detection, microsystems, and microfluidics. Special attention is dedicated to the use of particles and reactive particles in vitro biomedical diagnostics. Various biotechnological systems are presented and are well-illustrated by examples of real application. The book also elaborates on unusual nanoparticles.
