APPLICATIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES MELLITUS Small amounts of acetone in a patient’s breath can be detected by cantilever array sensor technique which may attribute to early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus . FOR DETECTION OF BACTERIAS,FUNGI,VIRUSES antigens on cell membrane surface results in additional mass loading, ultra-sensitively detected by the device using nanochemical oscillator The detection sensitivity is in the order of a single bacterium corresponding to a mass of ~1 pg
APPLICATIONS FOR CANCER DIAGNOSIS When the cancer-associated molecules bind to the cantilevers, changes in surface tension cause the cantilever to bend The mass detection limitation of NEMS cantilevers is improved to the enumeration of a single DNA molecule consisting of ~1600 base pairs and weighing ~1 ag (atto = 10^18 ).
TYPE NANOTUBE SENSOR
SIZE / SHAPE coated with strands of DNA could detect molecules on the order of one part per million
PLATFORM The Nano sensors could sniff molecules out of the air or taste them in a liquid, suggesting applications ranging from domestic security to medical detectors .
