Abstract:
Iranian researchers used nanoparticles to design a highly accurate and high speed biosensor to detect hCG hormone.
Quick Detection of hCG Hormone by Biosensors in Iran
Tehran, Iran | Posted on December 18th, 2015The sensor has been made of biocompatible, stable and cheap raw materials and it can be used in medical diagnosis centers and clinics after mass production. The research has been carried out at the laboratorial scale.
HCG is the first hormone that is created during pregnancy by the mate and in some diseases by various types of tumors. Quick increase in the amount of hormone in blood or urine exactly after the impregnation is an ideal indicator to confirm pregnancy. Therefore, it is very important to measure this hormone in clinics and diagnosis centers.
Biosensors that minimize the effect of other components in biological liquids during the diagnosis are among the tools that attract attention of researchers. In this research, efforts have been made to design a biosensor by using nanoparticles, which can accurately detect the desirable hormone in a selective manner. The most important objective of the research was to eliminate the need for advanced and expensive devices to measure this hormone.
Results of the research can be used in medical and therapeutic centers. In addition, a new window can be opened to the production immunosensors by using this method.
Results of the research have been published in Sensors and Actuators B Chemical, vol. 222, 2016, pp. 1103-1111.
