Plasmon nanobiosensor for whole blood analysis

新方法将能够检测特定的疾病标志物，或识别复杂致密分析物（如血液和其他体液）中蛋白质含量的细微差异，在诊断和临床情况下具有实用价值。 它还将与其他领域有关，如病毒性疾病的医学诊断，以及尚未解决的环境监测问题，如工业废物中存在的特定微生物。由于其设计简单和组件成本低，该计划中开发的设备将很好地为澳大利亚开发新的商业技术。

The new method will be able to detect specific disease markers or to identify subtle differences in protein content in complex dense analytes such as blood and other body fluids, of practical utility in diagnostic and clinical situations. It will also be relevant in other areas such as medical diagnostics of viral diseases, and for unsolved environmental monitoring problems such as the presence of specific microorganisms in industrial waste. Owing to their design simplicity and low cost of components, the devices developed in this program will lend themselves well to the development of new commercial technologies for Australia.
